WinXP is using CPU (system process) when I'm running winamp (!new info!)
On my friends computer, he uses winamp to listen to music. Without running any other programs, his system process jumps from 2-12% ever 4 seconds. While on mine, it doesn't do that.
We both have windows xp with the same amount of updates (sp1) and tweaks with no spyware and using the "safe" configuration on blackvipers website. But his system process jumps from 2-12% for no reason while playing music (winamp), yet mine doesn't.
Here are some pictures:

His computer: ants_computer2.jpg
I racked my brain and I can't seem to figure it out, what does everyone think. What could the system process be doing only when he's playing music?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Could it be that he has a Pent IV(m) 2ghz while I have a Pent III 866. Could there be a difference in technology which causes system process to jump?
