It will give you very low FPS. Everything should display OK, but I notice that when I have no gfx drivers installed, that when you use scrollbars, you can see the poor performance.

I'm using GeForce 6200 and I havn't experienced any problems apart for the initial install of WMP11 where there was alot of memory usage like you experienced and the mini-hub didn;t work correctly, after a simple restart of my machine, it worked perfect.

Download the WGA-friendly version? :P
Well i found it by my self (well the bypass not the download) so shhh :p its pretty easy :P

Just one thing ... that isnt 98% its no of processes run by the pc .... or is it actually in percentage form :S

Blah either way .... i think its cause its reading the id3 tags and updating the info on the screen (artist info and stuff) so it mabbe causing it to slow and skip. Does it cure itself later ?

no cure.. just gets worse... i bin reading anything i can find via google and one person said it happened to him because his wmp was  automatically looking in folders for new media... i had set this up with wmp10 to find new episodes of lost, prison break, sopranos and to search the my music folder... totally to about 30-40 gb worth of stuff... ive removed them and hopefully its going to work (yn)

no it is in percentage form.

If that doesn't work, try disabling all your (WMP) plugins
