Editor's review of TaskInfo
4.0 stars
Using TaskInfo is like peering through a dirty window into the guts of your PC: you can see everything inside, but you have to squint to make it out. The interface jams together an intimidating array of system stats and graphs, and the help file is sketchy.
But once you figure out what you're doing, you can easily monitor processes, free up RAM, and reboot your PC from within the program. TaskInfo will pop up alerts when system resources run low, and it even displays hidden processes, handy for tracking down viruses. The program made one of our Pentium III-class test systems run unacceptably slow, but we fixed that by turning off all but a few real-time displays.
If you've outgrown Windows Task Manager, have CPU power to burn, and can't stand not knowing what your PC is doing behind your back, TaskInfo could be just the tool you need.

Version: TaskInfo 7.0.8.216
"Russian - Sounding - Guy - So You Know It's Good"
Pros: I wrote a one-star review on another program which was crap so to be fair I am compelled to comment on this brilliant innovation. The Editor's analogy of a dirty window is good. But I had a lingering concern on my Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor under Network: a connection address listed as 'joshua'. Sounded too much like someone's home PC. PerfMon gives no options for additional information or manipulating the process. TaskMan is... better in Vista, but... you know. I tried 'Advanced' Firewall then more Microsoft like Event Logger, even downloading 'Microsoft Network Monitor'. Usefull... if you're the type that enjoys speaking Hex Binary to blind (online) dates. In other words all the programs were either too simple (insulting user intelligence) or too technical (again insulting user intelligence) to be of any use. Taskinfo gave me information on EVERY conceivable angle of this process and even let me suspend it to test its behaviour. The ability to flush RAM from the taskbar while engaging in other tasks is brilliant. The program continues to run even after it's 30-day trail, only then introducing a registration reminder. I and hope to be able to pay for this work of art soon and sincerely wish this author well. And Yes, it does display active memory in the taskbar, both actual and virtual.

Version: TaskInfo 7.0.8.216
Pros: I've looked at a ton of different memory manager applications. I mainly just wanted something to monitor and manage my memory. After look at many different tools and utilities, I tried TaskInfo. I was blown away by the capabilities. And it handles my memory better than anything else I've tried. After running it for almost 2 months and not finding anything better, I went ahead and bought it. It is that good!
Cons: The only thing left I would like is the amount of active memory displayed on the icon in the task bar. Very minor issue.
