ClearView

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

See your system's status at a glance, any number of ways, with this multithemed viewer. ClearView's unique interface is a collection of displays designed to fit any number of user preferences and situations.

The various displays accurately reports the same basic information, CPU usage, disk speed, memory used, and network speed, but with very different presentations. Options to change refresh speed and history length are easily selected and implemented from the default display. Main Display was a tester favorite with its automobile tachometer look. Information is displayed by needle-and-dial gauges, and a short graph. A histogram view was also popular to view data over the previous 30 minutes. The Pulse Points and Detailed View screens contain the most comprehensive information, but novice users won't be familiar with many of the terms. The Stamp View uses color bars for a display more concerned with saving desktop space than providing detail.

The System View helpfully displays information using the standard file-tree format. This program works best for the truly dedicated system tweakers and administrators. No matter which display you choose, ClearView will help you get a better understanding of how well your system operates.
