Hi all; He is what I have (dont laugh)... msi k7t turbo2 v5 ms6330 mother board Duron 1g cpu 1.1g SDRAM 80g seagate 7200 rpm HDD 17 inch lg studioworks 700s moniter Auriga geforce4 mx 440 64Mb DDR tv out agp 4x video card Internal Swannsmart 2 56k v.90 voice/fax/data modem Windows Xp Pro sp1 etc... From the windows task manager the cpu usge is around 10-20%, when I dial in to the internet I on average connect at 46kbps, currently at 49kbps. While watching the network Utilisation the network does not go higher than 60% When the connection pauses, the whole system pauses, from screen refresh to my typing... Can anyone explain thanks.

Have you tried an external modem, you may have a software modem.

Would the firewall or anti-virus prog be causing this... I have not tried an external modem, but hopefully will be able to, in the next few weeks... I initally thought it was the cpu, being only 1g. But as I said watching the cpu performance it only uses 10%-20%. Would really like some feedback, thanks... I really can not see the relatonship been the system pausing when the network lags/pauses.

For how long does it pause, and are the pauses associated with any network activity? If so, what sort of activity - for instance, could it be blocking on DNS lookups?

No more than about 10-20 seconds and it does not seem to be associated with any network activity. That is it happens while I am downloading email, downloading newsgroups (I use free agent), surfing the web (I use netscape 7+), kaza lite, icq. Any combination. Sometimes the connection is totally fine... The fact that the whole system stops is the concern. How can the connection pause the use of me typing in notepad, while I download email and newsgroups?

How can the > connection pause the use of me typing in notepad, while I download > email and newsgroups? If there is lots of disk activity when it pauses, it may be swapping to virtual memory on disk. That would interrupt other activities. But in your original post, you said you had 1.1GB of memory, which should be plenty, and which XP should be able to cope with. If it is swapping to disk, you need to reduce the number of applications open at the same time. Otherwise, it looks as if a high-priority task is hogging the CPU. This is probably kernel or device driver code (particularly if you mean that the CPU usage during these pauses is only 10 or 20%). You can't change the kernel, so I would be inclined to replace the device driver if you can. Look for a newer device driver for your modem. If you can't find a new device driver, or if it doesn't fix the problem, beg, borrow or steal a hardware modem (external serial or internal ISA, but not PCI or USB) and see if the problem goes away. If you can't try a hardware modem, try a different software modem - i.e. completely different driver.

Go here: http://kadaitcha.ath.cx/articles/high_cpu.aspx This half-wit seems not to have read the stuff he has copied onto his web page, let alone your original post. His page says high CPU usage may be caused by old drivers for software modems, and can be overcome by replacing them with hardware modems. Which is what I said.
