i think my problem is that the system is not using my graphics card for hardware acceleration. in any display configuration other than aero, windows sits at about 2% cpu usage. if i try to enable aero, both cpus shoot up to 100% and everything stutters badly.
my specs are:
dual core at 2.7ghz
nforce 4 ultra chipset
1gb ddr400
6800gt
with these specs, i don't really see why i'm having trouble, aside from the my guess that my cpus are being asked to handle graphical rendering and they don't like it. anyone know what's up?
i remember microsoft saying something about making aero not available for "pirates". i haven't activated yet, so is that what's going on here?
