Can anyone tell me what the 'System Idle Process' is, and why it shows up as
using 98% of the CPU in the task manager?
(Running XP HE on an AMD Athlon 2400+XP machine).
Many thanks.
It is the percentage of time that the cpu is not doing anything; in
other words, your system isn't working very hard when it's at 98%.
