Performance Monitor Specifications
|
Monitor your Windows system performance.
This tiny executable places four system monitoring graphs on your desktop, but we found them too difficult to read. Performance Monitor's simple settings interface makes it easy to set the visibility and colors of the four monitoring graphs, but they don't make enough of an impact. A setting to double the graph sizes just changes them from tiny to small.
Performance Monitor's graphs are easily dragged to sit anywhere on your desktop. Setting an option to make the graphs invisible to regular mouse clicks makes it easy to set them above other applications. You can move your mouse over any graph to get current information. That works better than trying to figure the scale of an unlabeled graph. The four graphs are Disk Usage, CPU Usage, Memory Usage, and Net Usage. We had to roll over each graph to see those titles.
