i've got a friend who says ever since he upgraded to Win2000 his sound doesn't play properly and he can't listen to Mp3's w/o them skipping. Also, he says his CPU is going crazy and the slightest program makes the usage charts jump up and down. He has an Athlon 1.0Ghz, 320 SD Ram, 40 GB Maxtor, Geforce 2 32MB, and a Hercules Muse XI 4.0. He says that before, on Linux or Win98, the CPU and sound was perfectly fine. I told him to look for new sound drivers but i dunno about the CPU, any suggestions?

*edit* he already took the stuff in his comp out (in case there were any compatibility issues) and it still didn't work. he tried installing WinXP on it and it just freezes after loading the drivers...
