What tool gives you quick access to processor and memory utilization and which programs are using the processor and memory?

Which technology is used to improve performance of computers using a USB flash drive?

What measurement indicates that your processor is working too hard?

1.	A is correct. A common tool used to quickly view system performance is the Windows Task Manager. Answer B is incorrect because the Perfor-mance Monitor provides a visual display of built-in Windows performance counters, either in real time or as a way to review historical data. Although the Performance Monitor is more powerful, it is not a quick-use tool. Answer C is incorrect because the Windows Experience Index measures the capability of your computer’s hardware and software configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. Answer D is incorrect because the Event Viewer is used to view the Windows logs.
2.	A is correct. Windows ReadyBoost boosts system performance by using USB flash devices as additional sources for caching. Answer C is incorrect because ReadyDrive boosts system performance on mobile computers equipped with hybrid drives. Answers B and D are incorrect because ReadyCache and ReadyUp do not exist in Windows 7.
3.	C is correct. If the processor is at 80% all the time, you should upgrade the processor (using a faster processor, or adding additional processors) or move some the services or programs to other systems. Therefore, the other answers are incorrect.
