( Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2.00GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB) ) Is this normal? I don't see any processes running that are using that much cpu in the process list panel of the monitor? Also when I go to logoff I get a messagebox telling me that there is an unkown process running, when I say yes to kill that process the CPU load goes way down... I just don't know where to find that 'unknown' process!
