Everest Ultimate Edition!
If you have a G15 keyboard (with the screen) you can also have it shown there, perfect when playing.

xp, and i'm sure vista aswell, has performance logging integrated already
in xp it's under computer management / performance logs and alerts
create a log profile and enable
for xp you'll need to download the log viewer seperately though
i don't know if one is required for vista - it might have it integrated already
on xp, open computer management by right clicking 'my computer' and choosing 'manage', or through control panel / administrative tools
i don't know how to get there in vista as controlpanel is quite different, but rightclicking my computer would probably be the same
but yes, a third party solution like everest might be more user-friendly

Wherever you want it to. You specify folder and name when you set it up. I just ran a test and located the files to my desktop. I can see the values getting updated like every 5 sec or so in a .htm document (web page) It keeps adding colums as it updates.

sorted,thank you very much CC.
i found what i was looking for : my E4300 overclocked at 2.8 cant handle gta iv as both cpu's are maxed out during play & only getting 10-20 fps. i will try to overclocked it to 3.0 if it wont improve things then i might buy a quad cpu.
edit: my E4300 at 3.0 still isn't good enough for gaming,i must buy a Quad core unless i stick to my console gaming .

Wait for a patch, dude...
I only have a 3500+ (single core!) and a ATI4850, and i get 8-20 fps. This game is not ok.

you are right + prices for the quad cpu's aren't really cheap at the moment.
thx netich

Personally running a E8500 @4Ghz + 4870x2 and GTAIV runs pretty smooth over here at 2560x1600. Ok had to set the Textures to medium but all else on highest. I think it's a driver issue. At the mo it looks like the game only detects one card. Says I have a maximum of 1024MB GPU ram or somet...should have 2Gb...or at least so I think.

No, your card only has 1GB effrective RAM since you have a dual-GPU card. Each GPU have 1GB each, and those are cloned (ie. same content).
