Got no problems here. Bryce uses 98%-99%, and the "system idle" ping-pongs the 1%-2% difference back and forth. My Winamp will spike a 3-5 percent when it accesses another mp3, or I double-click on a different one to play, but then when it is just playing, it shows 0% cpu usage. "Ive read here that people are not getting 100% use out of dual-cores" From what I have read, a program needs to be optimized to use dual cores(?), and Bryce 5.5 has not been so programmed. That's just what I have read on various forums. I am not versed in dual core tech. But, I do know from beta-testing that B5.5 didn't have any optimizations for HT, 64-bit, etc. AS
