Dear god! What music player are you running that generates 5-6% activity on one processor and 25% on another? Seems outrageous to me. What are you using to measure activity?My little SFF PC is running XP Pro on an EPIA SP8000 board, and does music fine, even when its supplying stuff to remote squeezeboxes. I'm using a NAS RAID for the music library and a USB audio output device, but that shouldn't make that much of a difference either way.

I am running JRiver MC11 and apple lossless. It seems that the more resources you have, the more window uses. On the same Mobo, same settings, but AMD 64 3200 plugged in, MC11 uses only 5-6%. what the second CPU in X2 3800 is churning is beyond me.
