only "X" showed high cpu usage. No associated apps were above what I'm used to 
seeing.

NO! The newer drivers build but warn of MTRR support lacking on my card. Funny 
I thought that it was there. It's a gforce4 ti 4200.
I had to revert to nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639. I guess the drivers got updated in 
a previous update and I missed the warnings. Funny it worked for over a week.

Thanks for the help.
