Fedora 7 32 bit on Athlon 64 X2

It happens almost daily. In the morning, the machine is fine. In the 
afternoon, 2GB of RAM are not enough, it starts swapping. A logout/login 
makes the problem go away for a few more hours.

I'm using Firefox, Thunderbird, gnome-terminal and a few other random 
things occasionally (XMMS, Gimp, etc).

I'm not doing anything special with this machine, just a normal workstation.

If you need more details, let me know.
