Hi, Ok... here's the story. About a week ago I got a new MBoard and CPU. I used to have a FIC SD11 with a 550MHz Athlon, now I have a Tyan 2380 with a 750MHz Athlon. Other than that I have changed nothing - same hardware, asame perihps, same kernel. But now the load-avarage is pretty much ALWAYS really high (like around 4). Top shows nothing stealing the large percentage of the CPU cycles. I was happily blaming Mozilla for a while till closing it didn't help (and no, there weren't any zombie mozillas). In fact, performance with this MBoard seems to be extremely bad. Does anyone else have a Tyan 2380, or any other Tyan MBoard? Can anyone think of why this might be? I've FINALLY got the thing not to share IRQs between all the card, so I know it's not that... -Yaron --
