Hello,

This is a question I have about my system as it presently
stands. Unsure of what maybe relevant to the reader I
offer this:

I have an Intel Celeron II 633MHz CPU on an Asus P3V4X
Motherboard (1 ISA, 6 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DIMM). Chipset Via
VT82C694X Apollo Pro 133A. RAM 384MB (SDRAM). 2 Local
Disks. 14301MB (13GB Free) and 38129MB - DMA Enabled both.
The latter partitioned C: 6GB (Windows)(3GB Free). D: 10GB
(MT). E: 22GB (5GB Free).

Before the purchase of software known as an audio file
format batch converter this question did not arise. But
since that purchase I realise I have a determined resource
hog on my hands. Once it is up and running I am unable to
use my computer for much other than the opening of
folders. It is very sluggish. The program will relinquish
few CPU resources. Yet my System Resources hover around
70% free

This is not a question of viruses or malwares. Nor is it
one of a computer already overburdened by running
processes. And I am a maintenance freak.

What, if anything, can I do to balance/limit the
allocation of CPU Usage to this program, or alternatively
replace/add system components to accomodate it.

What elements comprise System Resources?

Thank you.
