Is my high CPU load in idle state normal?
I know it has been discussed in several threads before but I really have not seen any solution or a straight answer.
When I am at homescreen I have a CPU useage of between 20-30% and that is when I am doing nothing. Just idle.
I just bought a Radeon HD3650 videocard and this is taking care excellent of HD material. Since it is DirectX10 compliant I also assumed it should take care of MP GUI workload as well?
I just want to know if CPU load of 20-30% is normal. If it is normal I think it really is too high for idle application but then at least I know I have nothing wrong in my system.
