i wondering if any of you guys know of a piece of software that will measure my hardware usage while running a program. I want to know what partof my system is under stress as i play the new command and conquer so i can upgrade the right to get the game running full speed ahead.
i have a dual core pent d 920 2*2.8ghz
2gb ddr 533mhz ram
ATi x850xt pro platinum 256mb

all with latest drivers and xpsp2 etc

http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm will do a thorough benchmark

You could always just use performance manager (built into XP)
That will so you disk queues, memory paging, cpu use etc etc

Insert unfunny comment here ->

Looking at your brief spec there i'd say the next thing on your list should be a graphics card, mind you saying that you might have a steam powered hard drive

got a sata 2 300mbps 7200rpm 300gb HDD. so if i start running the game, then alt tab and run a benchmark while the game still running then go back to playing while it runs that would give me what i wanna know right?

Your computer looks fine like Arma said. only thing is maybe a gfx card
