just got an logitech g5,and hooked it up usb.it seems smoother than ps2,but when the monitoring cpu useage,it gets as high as 10% when heavily moving the mouse.i dont think ps2 uses as much cpu,is this a problem? do you guys recommend ps2 over usb.im a big time gamer,so this is what i will be using this mouse for,here are some of my system specs below.

Athlon 64 3700+ 754 pin (overclocked to 2.5)

Epon 8npaj motherboard

1 gig crucial ram
 
The PS2 port is slower than the USB. Thats why it can not put as much load on the CPU.
The USB connection will work better in games.
 
That 10% spike is probably a result of something else happening as a result of moving the mouse; I doubt it is because of the USB connection. I say just use USB.
