It's a problem with your system, it's hardware, the drivers, and the
software, it's not a generic problem in Vista. This system runs fine, at
idle with multiple apps open like multiple tabs in IE, windows mail, Corel
WordPerfect, the CPU use is at 0-10%. When action are performed, CPU use
goes up for a moment, but it doesn't stay high all the time. When indexing
kicks in that ups it a bit too.
