What version of the NVidia card drivers are you using. There's been reports that the most recent (8756 I think) drivers eat CPU for lunch.<br><br>Honestly I don't know, i'm running the 8756 drivers and I THINK i'm fine, tho with all the out of sync sound i've got on my system right now (every show I tape that's not off of PBS Seems to play back with sound out of sync, at least through myth, if I load the recorded show through an external player it works fine), and now i'm wondering if the out of sync isn't caused by a HUGE processor load, gonna check that out in a bout 10 minutes.
