(Q1) Question

CPU Maxes out at 100% all the time...Help!

I have an AMD 750 mhz, and lately its been hitting 100% non-stop.

I'm running windows 98 so I cant see via the task manager which process is working it the most/hardest.

I have tried to remove adware, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?

(Q2) Question

I've finally entered ythe year 2000. I've ordered a 1.1g Athlon
Cheezy all in one board.
The board is either( don't ask) an:

AMPTRON K7- 825LU v.3.1( PcChips) or
AMPTRON K7- 825LM

The ram & shipping is going to cost more than the assembled box.

1. What ram to get? SDRAM or DDR ?

2. How do I tell that this 1.1 is not an already OC'd 900 ?

3. I am a little fuzzy on some of the stuff I've read about OC' ing the Athlon. I've read where's it's locked and you have to override the lock by fusing jumpers. I've also read about OC'ing without having to jump through hoops. Any help/opinions/clues are appreciated.
