System Idle Process......Puzzled????

[xirokx]

Hey,

My work comp is from time to time very very slow indeed. So I went into task manager and everytime it happens "system idle process" is at 98%

What is this?

What does it do?

Is this the reason?

Please clarify, please help...

Specs: p4 2.8ghz, 256mb ram, 80g hdd

Hmmm perhaps its the RAM??

Please help

thanks in advance...

cheers

any ideas peeps?

If I wanted to "tweak" my network settings, what precisely am I tweaking?
