Opportunities for hardwarre and software upgrade can be identified using a number of monitoring tools. In a Windows based environment moniting tools such as Performance monitor can be used to indentify upgrade opportunities by observing threshold counters to see if they exceed their maximum limit enforced by the operating system. For example if the processor utilization exceeds 90 percent as identified by performance monitor, this would signal an opportunity for upgrading the processor because it would no longer be efficient to multask operations such as opening many different programs at once on a computer. Other monitoring tools like Task Manager, Event Viewer and Device Manager can be used to monitor applications and hardware components of a computer system to identify opportunities for upgrade.
