welcome to the site huyaowen,
you can't do this with Process Tamer currently.
What you will be able to do *soon* though is tell process tamer that a specific program should be set to low priority as soon as it starts using 10% of cpu.  But this is not available yet.

Another question about Process Tamer (for gaming)
« Reply #3 on: December 08, 2007, 01:53 AM »
Process tamer does what it advertises wonderfully. However, I have an idea to potentially add to productivity of the program when playing process intensive games. If the program can already do this in a different way please let me know. What it says to do for games is simply toggle the program off. The idea to improve on this would be to have a different setting, that forces a game to normal priority while playing, but when you switch to a new window in the foreground, to automatically lower the priority of the game. Any ideas?

This would be a wonderful feature!

I also like the suggestion by fickletrick, btw :)
