I have the MSI PRO266TD-LR with a pair of 1.4ghz tuallies. I just put the system together 1-2weeks ago, and I noticed that my cpu usage was constantly at 30%-35% always, even at total idle. By idle, I mean like "kill every single process that isn't absolutely needed to live" idle. Since it's a dually, it still ran great, and never seemed slow.
Nothing I did to windows or drivers made any difference (reinstalled windows too), until I actually switched the processors around in their sockets. Then the problem was totally gone, and has been since.
I just wanted to share, and see if anyone else had a similar experience. The cpus are the same s-code, though they are many many serial#s apart.
