Get a history of CPU/memory usage

Is there someway to record Task Managers info about CPU and memory usage to examine later? Or an equivalent tool?

Solution 1:

Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon) should do the job for you; you can configure it to log to a file, so just enable the counters you need and it'll log as much as you want.

Solution 2:

• Start > Run > perfmon
• Hit the plus sign next to Performance Logs and Alerts
• Right click System Log and select properties.
• Adjust the sampling times to whatever you like
• When you are done, hit OK then the plus sign at the top of the window.
