Just curious what's going on here. My memory (512 ddr-333) is hardly being tapped, (200meg+ unused, zero swap file) yet the cpu (duron 1200) is running at 100% on many of the maps in Icewind dale HoW and trials of luremaster. Other new games like WC3 don't even push the system, I can have 4 other apps open in background, but for some reason I'm experiencing some choppiness on big maps in HoW/TotL. Does this game engine just happen to use alot of cpu and little memory? Or is there something I should change?

Thanks,
Bianca
