idling at 35%
Having just taken possession of this Presario 5000 with a Duron 800 and
running ME, I came across a web forum post where somebody was complaining about how slow his similar machine was. So I started up System Monitor and discovered that at idle, the cpu usage was a whopping 35%. The machine was not even online at the time. So, using Task Monitor, I closed out the bunch of programs had been started at bootup (I assume most/all were by Comapq's default configuration). The cpu usage actually went *up* to near 50%. Any ideas on what is going on? Is it Win ME? My 500Mhz K6 running '98 idles below 10%, and when online (with a winmodem) I am at under 20%. Thanks. |
