>> Hey guys, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. Windows Vista was a step up from XP in many ways. So if you like the performance monitor in XP, you're gonna love Vista's version. Open up the Start menu, type Performance Monitor and hit Enter. You'll be taken to the reliability and performance monitor which not only gives you graphs on your CPU usage, but also gives you details about disk and network usage and the ever useful reliability monitor keeps track of hardware and software crashes displayed in a neat little graph for your convenience. It's a great tool to keep track of how your machine is currently running and a log of all the stuff that may be causing your machine some issues. Now if you have a tip or trick that you wanna share, then e-mail us at tekzilla@revision3.com. And don't forget tekzilla.com, it's "The Place" to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:00:53
