In windows XP home, using the windows task manager, under the tab "performance"
I watched the graph for "CPU Usage History"
I was absolutely amazed at the huge blocks of 100% CPU usage just single logged........
inbetween were 0-3% usage with spikes to 100%
There is something going on here, but I'm not technical enough to figure it out unfortunately.
I run windowed 1280 x 1024
AMD 3400+
Win XP pro
1.5 gig corsair xtreme mem
Geforce 6800 Gt
DSL xtreme
