Dual Core

Hi, just wondering if maybe there is a dual core cpu usage bar? I have a crystalfontz 631, and was wondering if there is a way to make a plugin that shows the cores working separate of each other? Like one line will show for example 50%, of one core the bottom line will show like 70% of the other core? There was a plugin for the crystalcontrol software but I don't use it no more due to problems with my lcd shutting off.

The perf plugin will give you access to the stats for both cores. Then you can visualize the usage however you want - try tinybars.dll or 2bars dll. Or, if you want 2 seperate lines, just use the bar built into smartie.

On most machines, you'll use this to access the usage stats::

Code: Select all

$dll(perf,4,5,\Processor(0)\% Processor Time)
$dll(perf,4,5,\Processor(1)\% Processor Time)

Hi, I will be buying a quad core cpu and was wondering if theres a way to show each core being used like the dual? I tried to use the line of code you gave me elesquidor and change the # to 3 and then the next line to 4. I'm guessing it doesn't show anything because I don't have a quad core yet?

You're right, they'll show up after you install the quad-core.
