Is there a program that I can download and run in the background when Im running games to monitor system usage and see if Im pushing my AMD 3500+ / 2gig memory to its max.

I thought about the tool that is in Ctrl+Alt+Delete but the CPU usage does not seem to want to record for a long period of time.

Also when I have ran the Ctrl+Alt+Delete CPU montior for what it will do I have noted that may times my CPU usage maxes out in not only peaks but for short periods of time, is this normal and Im just now thinking to look at it?


Reason Im wanting to do this is Im in the beta for an upcoming game and I get system lagg with the game preformance options turned up and Im wanting to find out what part of my system Im using up.
 
control panel - admin tools - performance ?

Task Manager will work for a longer period, you just need to have a really wide display.
 
Start | Run | perfmon

All kinds of settings to let you capture only what you want and for how long you want.
