I lost my HD and got a new one. Had to start from scratch installing windows
XP and motherboard drivers. Now my computer runs very slow when loading a
game with sound. I checked my cpu usage and one runs approximate 30-50%
while the other is 1-3% while idle.

Has anyone had this problem? I am using intel g965ss motherboard with intel
E6400 processor.

Did you re-install the motherboard chipset drivers??? These drivers
tend to help XP to see the motherboard correctly and should have been
delivered on a CD/DVD that cam with the PC / motherboard.

BTW: most "games" will only use one "core" unless it was developed
for the multiple core.
 
yes I installed the motherboard drivers and updated these drivers from intel
also. I am now not worried about the cpu as I think it is working fine--it
is some other problem making my computer sluggish--like it is running a bunch
of programs.

Thanks for replying.
