Spikes in CPU usage -- normal?
Saturday, May 31, 2003 by Blitz2003 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am new to customizing Windows and I'm using Systemetrix in combination with ObjectDock. I notice that, for instance, if I double click to empty my recycle bin in Systemtrix, CPU usage momentarily shoots up to 100. Likewise, if I move back and forth over ObjectDock, my CPU usage goes up into the 90s. I have an Athlon XP 2500 Barton CPU, A7N8X Deluxe 2.00 motherboard, Radeon 9700 pro video card, 1 gb of HyperX RAM, etc... Is this normal, and just a quirk that comes along with certain customizing software? Will these spikes damage my hardware? Thanks.

Cool, I was wondering about this myself, to be honest.
