I run windows XP Home Edition 32bit on Athlon 64x2 3800+, the actual speed is about 2000,the operating system seems to be using both cores, i ran a benchmark test recently and was told to replace the CPU, even the memory chips are faster than the CPU. Is the 32bit on which the Windows run the problem?

diminished a LOT when i upgraded the driver to the latest one from ATI but still some mainly in right speaker....possibly related to installing Age Of Empires III but that shouldn't cause it. I've done diagnostic tests out the wazoo as well.

don't ever buy Creative speakers btw.....they suck and mislead on wattage etc.

My computer is underperforming, especially when it comes to gaming in recent months. The CPU seems to struggle to perform to its ability, when i press ctrl+alt+del, i've noticed that when that the system idle process takes a big chunk of my CPU usage and hence affecting other program's performance. Can anyone explain what exactly is system idle processing, is there anyway to lower its usage on the CPU? Currrently im just running firefox and it's usage is 98%!?!

This only happened in recent months and not before. Could this possibly be a virus or spybots? I got an adware cleaner program and wiped a couple already.

I have a HP desktop. Every now and then my computer freezes. I don't know why. I try pushing on CTRL +ALT+DELETE but the Task Manager doesn't pop up. It stays the same.
I turn off my computer and then turn it on and run my virus scan, no virus.
I run my anti-spyware program, no spyware.
What is wrong?
I reformated my computer twice already and I don't want to do it another time. It takes up my time.
Help? Please?
