In this video i will monitor your computer’s processor.
- In the System Monitor window, click the Add button on the toolbar.
- In the Add Counters dialog box, select the following performance objects and counter:
- If it’s not already selected, select Processor from the Performance Object drop-down list, select Interrupts/Sec in the counter list box, and click the Add button.
- Click the Close button. You should see these counters added to your graph.
- Note the Processor > %Processor Time counter (which was added by default). If this counter’s average is below 85 percent, you do not have a processor bottleneck.
- Note the Processor > Interrupts/Sec counter. If this counter is below 1000 on a Pentium computer, you do not have any processes or hardware that are generating excessive interrupts.
