CPU maxing out

As soon as I load SL (1.15.1(3)) my cpu jumps to 100%. From there on in it stutters and stalls as you would expect. SL is currently unusable.

I am running XP SP2, 1.86 GHz, 1.5GB of RAM.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

SL always been like this, it will use 100% of your cpu ,
50 if you have HT, 50 on dualcore if affinity set to 1.

SL will always use as much CPU as it can get its hands on. This is not a fault, a bug, or in any way incorrect.

If you're finding you get "inadequate" performance, then you need to do some combination of reducing your graphics settings (lowering the draw distance can have a remarkable impact on local framerate, as can reducing the Detail sliders) or upgrading your PC.

If you don't want to answer....don't. No need to be snide. :)

not snide but there should be a sticky post on this very subject.

3D games always use all the available resources by design.
