So, sometimes my computer skips. By this i mean that if i were to move the mouse constantly, it would skip or pause every second or so. what is going on here?? It only happens sometimes...

right now i have 44 processes running. itunes and mozilla. is this too many random little processes?? how can i keep that low without deleting them every time i start my comp.

i have a 4 1/2 year old emachines laptop.

Thanks a lot everyone. best
 
im on xp, 2004.

CPU: mobile amd athalon 64 processor 3200+
