Author SQL Server pegs one core constantly

I recently got SQL Server 2005 Standard (x64) operating on our new
PowerEdge 2950 (4 Xeon cores), and the SQL server process almost
constantly pegs one of the 8 threads and sucks up about 1.2-2 GB of
memory, and we haven't even started hitting it hard - The only
databases currently on that server are the backend for McAfee
ProtectionPilot (ePO) and the database for our ticketing system (20-30
tickets a day, shouldn't even be breaking a sweat)...

So why is it chewing up so much CPU? Process Explorer isn't sowing any
child threads, jsut the sqlserver.exe as a child of services.exe

Run a profiler trace to see what is eating up all the CPU.
