I saw Rosetta was in the "Waiting for memory" state earlier. I've never seen that on this machine before, only on a system at work which had only 256MB RAM.

It was about 10 minutes into a this wu, (system set for default 3 hour wu). System requirement page says 256MB of memory required, this machine has 1GB. Global preferences are set to use 50%/90% RAM.

At the time, the Process Manager showed 200+ MB physical RAM free. Page file is Max'd out at 4095MB, never seen any VM problems.

BOINC core is 5.10.13, Intel P-IV Prescott 3.2GHz @ 3.2GHz Win-XP.

I rebooted the machine and the wu returned to it's initial state, i,e, 0%.

I don't understand that.

read this reply to a similar question and see if that makes sense. It's possible one of the other projects you have running is using alot of memory at the moment.
