PC Performance Monitor is a joint project with the exo.performance.network, founded by InfoWorld Contributing Editor Randall C Kennedy, that enables PC Advisor readers to monitor system, process, and network performance while contributing to a global repository of information that will yield an unprecedented, real-time image of Windows-based system performance and behaviour.
Get PC Performance Monitor:
To get PC Performance Monitor simply register with PCAdvisor.co.uk, or update your profile if you are already a member. Then hit the Monitor My PC tab and download and install PC Performance Monitor. Once installed it will take a few hours for your system to send sufficient information to start showing up on PC Performance Monitor.
You will be able to monitor the performance of up to three Windows desktop or server systems (including Vista systems) and set alerts for when your thresholds are exceeded. You can then see information about your PC from wherever you can access PCAdvisor.co.uk.
Once downloaded, the PC Performance Monitor agent samples performance data once per minute, enabling you to identify such bottlenecks as low memory or an underpowered CPU.
Performance data is uploaded to the exo.performance.network, where your most recent one week of data is stored for viewing and analysis.
Performance data will be shared in aggregate only and never identified as linked to your individual account.
While PC Performance Monitor is not intended to compete with professional monitoring tools, it provides a free, lightweight solution for end-users who wish to determine whether a hardware upgrade is indicated, for example, or for IT professionals to analyse the effects of new applications, hardware configurations, or Windows version upgrades.
Over time, as this uploaded information is pooled and analysed, we expect to provide new levels of insight about Windows performance.
The results of that analysis will be shared through PC Advisor's News and Blogs, with feedback encouraged via the PC Advisor Windows Vista forum and PCA pollshttp://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/pc-performance-monitor
