Reboot more often and the cpu will go down.

well not really the processor thats at fault you need more ram cause the less ram you using it paging it to disk which puts strain on the cpu really 1gig to 2gb of ram would be recommended.

are you using the client on same comp allso make sure nothing else it running in the background

Yeah the client is running from a laptop as on the same pc as host can cause strain. Ive tried a lot of server files etc Im using ones that are 3 years old. I dont know if i have a silly m2server.exe or something. I found out its the mongen.txt nothing in and its 0% cpu LOL Ive tried to limit my mongen but i am no good that that sort of thing.

Yep thats the one, just ramboost regularly when your server is running, (Dont try to free up too much otherwise it crashes)
