Make your computer sound like those in movies

You must have noticed computers in movies keep making weird beeps and sounds whenever the actor is using the keyboard or hacking into the mainframe. Thanks to Nullsoft (the makers of Winamp), you can replicate these sounds on your computer.

The software called Nullsoft Beep emits important sounding geeky little beeps whenever you use the keyboard or the screen updates. It also makes a low hum on the speaker that varies in intensity depending on the CPU load. Aside from making your computer sound important, these beeps makes an interesting feedback system on the CPU load. I’m loving this application.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.
