Quickly know memory usage, CPU usage, battery life & hard disk usage with QuickSYS Informer

It's good to keep track of your system resources usage like memory, CPU, hard disk, etc. Because, if you know how your system is using its resources you can easily prevent or troubleshoot problems.

A full hard disk can be another cause of a slow PC. On another note, high network adapter usage can explain why you cannot connect to certain sites that you normally can access.

QuickSYS Informer is a handy freeware utility that enables you to immediately see the status of your local system resources.

It's professionally designed interface is very intuitive as it makes use of horizontal bars to illustrate real-time system usage. QuickSYS Informer (download it at source) can track the CPU usage, Hard disk usage, Memory usage, Network adapter use, and Battery life (for notebooks).
