TaskManager replacement for XP/Vista/7

[LiamC]

Want a Windows 8/8.1 style task manager in your old skool "pry XP out of my cold dead hands" OS?

Scroll to the bottom. Looks pretty good so far.

This looks pretty cool. I'll have to try it whenever I can get around to it. Also - - in the screenshot showcasing the CPU clock speed - - 1.97 GHz? Kinda oddball, but it was probably meant to be 2 GHz. But 1.97 GHz = 1970 MHz, so... kinda sorta wayyy off. I'm not saying that's not what the CPU was running at, it probably was, but... I don't know, it just gets on my nerves.

It could just as easily be a 3GHz CPU at a modest Speedstep value.

I never understood SpeedStep. How does it work, exactly? Dynamic clocking?

 

[Chewy509]

SpeedSteep always the OS to change the CPU frequency/speed depending on work completed and thermal effects. The more work the CPU is doing, the higher it will clock itself. The less work, it'll underclock itself to reduce power consumption and thus reduce heat output.
