Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Performance Monitor is the best choice as it provides detailed information on how the computer is performing, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk activity, and allows for the creation of custom graphs showing performance over time. The Task Manager provides some similar information but with less detail, while the Device Manager is specifically for managing hardware devices and the Solution Center is typically a vendor-specific tool for fixing issues with their products.
