[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 485768, member: 26695"] I opened activity monitor. What percentage (User, System, Nice, Idle) are you saying is at 100%? If you're user is at nealy 100% you would be using all the processor(s). That percentage is for all the cores, not just one. I prefer using menu meters. It gives me a temperature and percentage of each core used. It updates every second or two. I've used handbrake and I've copied a disc and it will take a few hours because I do two passes. My processor only maximizes at 20% and I use a few hundred more MB of RAM but my system is stable so I can do other things. I assume running your computer at full capacity for long periods at time wouldn't be such a good thing. [/QUOTE]
