re: System Idle Process taking 95% of CPU Friday, November 22, 2002 at 8:44 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by shawn (1 messages posted) I have the following system: Dell Dimension 550 MHZ P III - 256 MB RAM Windows XP Omni Studio Sound Card (Delta 66) Midi Keyboard. When I record one guitar track the CPU usage is fine. When I play this back and plug in my USB Midi controller CPU usage spikes in the red and I get constant audio dropout. I have the latest drivers for everything. I've "tinkered" with my buffer sizes and latency to the best of my ability. I recently saw the System idle process being used in my task manager. I don't know the manufactuer of the MB, but I beleive the chips are intel. Do you think upgrading to a Maxtor HD with 7200 RPMs and 8MB transfer this will cure the problem or will my 550 mhz processer limit this?
