Hey Gang,
Thank you for taking my question.
I just bought myself a new system a month ago. It has been working great thus far:
AMD Athlon64 3000+
WinXP Pro SP2
Epox 1000MHz FSB 939-pin Mobo
2 Gig Corsair ValueRam
ATI Radeon 9200
I notice that when I run a game (Total War: Rome) I some times get a lot of lag. Restarting the computer seems to fix the issue. I now see another symptom of whats going on. When I bring up task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab, I look at the list of programs running, sorted by CPU usage, and the majority of the time it reads: "System Idle Process: 99" the other 1 or 2 percent are for the task manager. HOWEVER, when I look at the bottom, sumarizing, part it reads anywhere from 30 to 50% !!!
What is going on?
Why doesn't the list and the summarizing match?
Obviously this might be why I'm getting lag.
