Just a heads-up: My older AMD64 box, I believe it is a 3200, started going much slower yesterday. Since I pretty much use it as a headless box I didn't keep tabs on it.

However, I *did* have the graphical display of FAH running.

A few minutes ago I went poking around on it and found that the graphical display of FAH, WinFAH, was using 98% of the cpu and the actual core, FAHCore, was getting about 2%.

I shut down the display and CORE went to 100% like it should have been.

Now, this was just an aberration as my other machines did not exhibit this behavior - just this one box.

But I second the folks who have mentioned in the past to shutdown the graphical display and only open it when you want to by right-clicking on the FAH icon in the system tray and choosing "Display".

Our Trucker's little contribution so far...



Not too bad, considering some of them are "folding" on their lappy's while they go down the road. :-)

Win98 boxes need to be restarted every few days to clean up the memory leaks.
