    When I installed windows XP on a computer with a one gig
    processor and used the windows manager to see the cpu
    usage, it was at 100% constantly with no programs running.
    When I tried to run a program it would take forever or
    never load. I reformatted the drive and installed win 2k
    and everything runs fine. Why?
