I have also been experiencing occasional page/cache faults when I close the
Chessbase GUI on my two Pentium III PCs running windows XP:

   PC#1: PIII 500 Meg RAM, 524 Mhz (over-clocked from 450 Mhz)
   PC#2: PIII ThinkPad 256 Meg RAM, 500 Mhz no over-clocked

The hard disk "grinded" for about 40 seconds before the application was
completely closed.  This happened during the first open and close after reboot.
After that, openning and closing no longer caused the grinding.  It seemed that
Windows XP had adapted the disk caching to the application but I was not sure.
I took out all the start up programs I possibly could but still the problem
could be reproduced after rebooting.

I had no such problem on my newer Athlon 1600 XP machine though.  I think this
problem is related to Pentium III in combination with Windows XP and also with
Chessbase GUI but I suspect it is not engine related.

Regards,
Jim
