    Hi all,

    In my HTPC I have two gfx cards, one is the MoBo integrated X1250 from ATI and the other is an NVidia 8600GT Silent.

    When I use the integrated gfx I get (one of) the CPU(s) running at almost full speed, but doing nothing it seems. As soon as I use the Nvidia card the CPU(s) sit nicely idling when in Home screen. I remember having seen a post about this before but I can not find it again.

    Do you see the same issue with the integrated ATI graphics? I have the latest available drivers from both ATI and Nvidia.

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with the drivers or with MP. Any ideas anyone?

    /Peter
