Find bottlenecks

From what we've seen so far Windows 7 is already performing better than Vista, but if your PC seems sluggish then it's now much easier to uncover the bottleneck. Click Start, type RESMON and press Enter to launch the Resource Monitor, then click the CPU, Memory, Disk or Network tabs. Windows 7 will immediately show which processes are hogging the most system resources.

The CPU view is particularly useful, and provides something like a more powerful version of Task Manager. If a program has locked up, for example, then right-click its name in the list and select Analyze Process. Windows will then try to tell you why it's hanging - the program might be waiting for another process, perhaps - which could give you the information you need to fix the problem.

The best free automation tools for Windows

When your job involves working on a computer, repetitive actions can be the bane of your existence. They're not only tedious, but also (even worse) time consuming. Fortunately, in case you're forced to execute the exact same actions over and over again, you can create macros (scripts) that will automatically do them for you. Let's say, for example, that every day you have to open your downloads folder; to do this, you would normally have to click on 'Start', then on 'Documents' and from there finally click on 'Downloads'. Using a macro, you could simply run a certain file from your desktop or (even better) use a key combination, and the download folder will be automatically opened. (Of course, this was very simplistic, but you can use macro scripts to perform much more complicated tasks.) Here you will find a list with some of the best automation tools on the market. These applications won't only help you improve your productivity with macr...

Medal of Honor: Warfighter GPU & CPU Performance

Released on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in October 2010, Danger Close and EA's Medal of Honor reboot brought the franchise to modern-day Afghanistan after a dozen previous titles set during World War II. Having been a fan of entries including Medal of Honor: Airborne and Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, I was excited to crack open the latest version and test its performance on enthusiast hardware . Although its graphics weren't groundbreaking, 2010's Medal of Honor looked decent while allowing low-end GPUs to provide playable performance using respectable quality settings. Looking at the old benchmarks I see that even then quad-core processors were a must, with dual-core chips giving half as much performance. Having grown accustomed to Modern Warfare-like titles, Medal of Honor's relatively tame GPU requirements weren't too shocking. Interestingly, it seems Medal of Honor: Warfighter might buck that trend, as its recommended system specificati...
