Generally it depends on how many procecssors your have and if the process is making good use of more than one of them. So if you have one of the latest boxes that has two quad-core CPUs you could have a process consume up to 800%. If you only have four cores then I have no idea why it would report anything north of 400%.

Hi.

Running a quad 4 Mini. Wondeirng about something in the Activity monitor. How can a process use up more than 100% of space? Often when I am running something hard and heavy like Handbake the process tab in Activity Monitor shows 560-580%. Thoughts appreciated.
