You're suggesting a game uses 100% CPU just because it can? As if it just perhaps needs 10%, then processes garbage with the other 90% just to have 100% usage?
Don't act stupid. Garbage data? Are you seriously losing so bad that you suggest that the game process useless data? If the game is only using 10% of the total CPU power there is always room for more data aka detail to be added, it's called scaling.

You know, even if there's nothing extra that needs doing, it'll use up cycles to process garbage, and hold back ones that need processed? If it's at 100%, it means there's more instructions to process that it can handle whilst keeping up good speed.
Again, it's stupid to suggest that a game process garbage data.

What part about that don't you understand?
It seems like you are arguing something that makes no sense, so why would I have a clue about what you are talking about?

I can tell you either way that HPC, UT and H2PC do not use up 100% on their own, so your argument is moot. Even if you were right, you've gone off the point of discussion.
Check your CPU usage next time you have halo pc running, it maxes out at 90-100% all the time, however it's not multithreaded so it doesnt take advantage of both cores.

Also, what other tasks appear to be running that could create a 2.9gb page file? None!
I swear you are arguing something that has NO bearing about anything. Halo 2 Vista, UT 2004, and Halo PC ALL FIT IN 2 GB of ram, get over it. Hell I dont't even see why you are arguing this, it's like you have nothing else and are acting like ZOMG A PAGE FILE YOUR COMPUTER SUCKS.

It's however more likely to be the GPU to cause a bottleneck in a game's performance.
It depends on the game, older games are more likely to be CPU bound as current GPUs(read 8800 GTX) have more than enough GPU power to run anything at hundreds of frames per second.

Hope you're not trying to run anything except the game then. You know like Xfire, music, TS, IRC etc.
</Sigh> :)
You know what, I always leave firefox, trillian(chat), foobar2000(music), ventrillo, at least one instance of remote desktop, and other assorted programs running and have noticed no ill effects except when firefox decides to use many hundreds of megs of ram since it handles it poorly.
;)
You seem to be forgetting I am the one running this and I can tell you that all of the games were very much playable regardless of what you want to argue.
I win yet again.
