    I just did the A08 update and it seems to have gone smoothly, knock on wood. I have noticed that there is a very faint clicking noise coming from my processor now when using apps.

    Is this normal? Anyone else experience this after the A08 install?

    Upon further inspection I think the noise may in fact be coming from the hard drive which would be normal.

    For some reason though after this update, my computer is accessing my hard drive more.....
