Proc-Shot is a program intended to help you keep track of all your running processes. Many programs that you install will add to your list of running processes. So knowing what processes are running at any given time will help you manage your system. In fact, rogue programs often add processes and it is important that you have a way to identify these troublesome processes. Also, there may be processes that are running that you don’t need for your day-to-day computer use and it may be necessary to kill some unneeded processes to free up resources.

With Proc-Shot you can look at all the processes that are running and learn more about them. Also, you can compare the current processes with the processes that were running at some earlier point in time.

• Simple user interface
• Compare your process list over time

Puma is a new mobile/laptop platform from AMD, not sport wear.

AMD Puma consists of three ingredients:- The new Turion X2 / Turion X2 Ultra mobile processorsAMD M780G (RS780M) mobile chipset and 802.11a/b/g/n compliant Wi-Fi chip from third party vendors.

Although AMD’s mobile processors have already been using the 65nm manufacturing process since mid 2007 with the ‘Tyler’ core, those were still using the old architecture that was prevalent since 2006 when the Turion 64 X2 first came to light. Despite the major core updates, the processor will still bank on existing marketing nomenclature and continue the Turion naming scheme.
