running slow / Vista Ultimate

I installed QuickTime and iTunes (Business x64 w/ 4 x 500GB and 6GB RAM,
Quad Xeon)

Afterward, I could hear the disk drives churning and a lot of activity.
Looking for something in Task Manager for what or who was indexing,
searching, it wasn't using more than 1-3% cpu and no clue which. Seems like
it would be more obvious.

I hope I don't find that QT and iTunes have "taken over" all media files.

Any idea?

What does Task Manager say? When you show all processes, what's taking up
CPU cycles?
