I've seen a Somix Template "Memory Available using Perfmon Agent", since the servers are already running the Perfmon Agent this might be ideal. Does the Perfmon agent suffer from the same problems? I've certainly not seen CPUs renamed in Perfmon log files or through the performance monitoring API available in pdh.dll. > Also, CPU usage on Win * boxes produce a snapshot in time as apposed to an > avereage.

That's okay, I'm not looking for anything too acurate, just the general trends over longer periods. James -- "You're turning into a penguin.
