Correct me if I’m wrong but system idle process never shows up as general CPU usage. Also the load according to task manager varies from 25/75 to 75/25 randomly, no consistant pattern. Under usage it’s only goes up from there.
That also doesn’t explain why it’s running much slower than it did with XP loaded (Which showed 0-2% usage, like wise idle process was at 100-98% where it should be)
Problem with XP is it’s hard to get everything I need loaded in 2GB of space. And the 7-8 minute boot time blows. But likewise it will not multi-task near as well under Win2k.
