Processor Drop Alerter

When you run multiple programs on the computer, it might be a good idea to keep track of the CPU load before starting yet another app. Processor Drop Alerter is a small program that can be useful to have around.

The app has a simple interface that should be easy to figure out, thanks to the intuitive layout.

As mentioned before, the app keeps track of the CPU load on the computer. The program can alert you when the CPU is free after a heavy load. By accessing the gadget’s context menu, you may adjust the percent value that you want the program to alert you if the usage is below it.

The program alerts you of this by emitting a repetitive beep. Thus, you can safely leave the computer if the speakers are on and go about your business until the CPU values return to safe levels.

However, if the percent limit you imposed to the widget is too high, the beeping carries on at all times and might be quite annoying.

Additional settings are available regarding the way the widget’s frame acts. For instance, it can be set to always be on top of other programs and to ignore mouse movements. It may also become immune to accidental dragging. Its opacity levels are easy to adjust as well.

The bottom line is that Processor Drop Alerter is a great tool that can come in handy on occasions. Less experienced users shouldn’t have any troubles while installing the program, but if you have a dark colored wallpaper, it might be hard to find at first.
