I installed the previous version of adobe flash (V10). don't matter if I use chrome or IE8. shockwave will making CPU run @ 100 % most of the time when I browse a website needed flash
I have a old CPU celeron 900. How do I minimize the CPU usage from shockwave?

You can't influence that. All you can do: buy a faster CPU if you find your current one too slow.
Incidentally, the CPU-usage of Flash is why Apple doesn't want it on the iPhone. They might be right.

Maybe Steven Jobs is right. flash is CPU hug. I start to agree with him that why he bans flash on Apple product.
I can run almost every common software with my 3-4 years old CPU and I can never keep up with adobe flash.
Adobe softwares are not user friendly anymore too.
Where are the alternatives to adobe softwares????
I can't say if this is related to your problem, but Adobe's Flash is now vulnerable to new attacks. Adobe has recommended that users upgrade to a Pre-release version which is not vulnerable to this latest attack.

I've installed this pre-release version and have no issues.
However, as has already been said, your Celeron 900 is now under-powered for many of today's components.
