Hey guys,
I have a decent internet connection, 150mb down and when i'm maxing it out my CPU (i7 920) is usually between 20-60% utilized.
I'm not 100% sure why its so high but I do see that my anti virus software is using up a little bit (10-15%) when downloading, I guess its scanning as I download.
I was thinking of grabbing an intel 1000 pro pci-e card to replace my on-board realtek NIC on my Gigabyte x58 UD5 motherboard.
Do you think it would make any difference on CPU usage?
