How Do You Check....

[MusicChick]

How do you check to see what is taking up the system resources? Like what particular program that is running in the task bar that is using the most and such. I know you check the percentage in Control panel, but I want to know how much ram each program is using. Is there a program for that? Thanks for any help. ;)

I had a program that check the ram, i believe that it was called ram turbo. I not sure if that was the name, let me check.

Whats your operating system?

Cant remeber if older versions have it but in xp, bringing up task manager>processes shows the memory usage of each upplication/process currently running. :)

You don't need to download anything. It's built into win9x.

Programs\ accessories\system tools\ system monitor. On the left hand, top corner, you'll see a small button right below "file". click on it and choose what you want to monitor. Virtual memory, physical memory, kernel, processor, whatever you want info on. Configure it from there and you'll know exactly what's going on.

You might have to install management and monitoring tools from the OS install CD if you did a minimal install to begin.

I like this one the best. Tells you everything.

I have win 98 and I checked and I have "System Information". But Couldn't quite understand all of it. I haven't been using win 98 very long, but I did a full install when I first installed it.

Put your CD in and go to add remove programs/ add windows components. Look for management and monitoring tools or system tools and install it all. Then go back and take a look just above system info. You should see the system monitor there. You can have as many snapins as you want open at one time so just experiment till you get the info you're looking for.

if you had Xp/2000 you could bring up the task manager to check your memory

you can download a version for 9x from tucows

In XP just press Ctrl+Alt+Del..
it's alot better than the 98 and ME Dialog.. has alot of info
