In computing, The System Idle Process is a process in the Microsoft Windows operating system that displays, as a percentage, how much CPU resources are "idle" and available for use at any given time. The name of this "process" may be a misnomer, however, as the System Idle Process is more of a counter and less of a process that actually uses the resource percentage that it displays.

It's not actually a process. It's that part of memory which is idle - if you add up all the memory which is being used, the remainder is labelled "System Idle Process".
Add up all the percentages, you'll see what I mean.

Exactly what it says on the tin! It's what happens when the PC system isn't doing anything but background processes, ie 'idle'. :)
