About the Resource agent

Keeping on top of your resource usage can help you avoid degradation of system performance. The Resource agent monitors your system resources, user resources, and graphic display interface (GDI) resources and notifies you as resource levels drop below preset thresholds. If you notice that you often drop below 65% of resource thresholds, you should consider adding more memory.

How to set your resource threshold alarms

When setting each resource usage alarm, keep in mind the average number of programs you plan on having open all at once. The more programs you run, fewer resources are available for other programs you want open. Do the following to set your resource threshold alarms:

1	Double-click [image] on the Windows task bar.

2	Click the Resource icon.

3	Use the sliders to set the lowest allowable resource threshold. You are notified as it approaches and exceeds this threshold.
The usage indicator below the sliders indicates the number of free resources available for use.

4	Click Apply for the new settings to take effect.
