I know how he feels.I've got a quad core home system, and it's nearly always grinding away on that bloody system idle process. Several upgrades later and it's still hogging nearly everything I've got. I blame Vista.
Do I need to defrag?

Easy solutionJust kill the idle process. That's what I usually do.

Easy solutionUninstall all security fixes.
Connect directly to t'internet (i.e. no router).
Wait an hour.
Voila! He'll never see the idle process again.
