    it means that there is 80% of the processor not being used, so is ok. The PC can go 100mph, and you are toddling along at 20mph
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • If you have nothing particularly computer demanding then it should be alot lower than what it current is (80%).

    Next time this happenes sort the processes by size and see whats taking up most of the RAM.

    Although if you get pulled over for speeding, you can't say "my 80 mph is slower than yours".
