CPU & Ram Meter is a small application designed to help you keep an eye on the processor and computer memory, displaying a few graphs right on your desktop.

There's nothing too difficult about this application, which means beginners and more experienced users should have absolutely no problem trying to figure out how to use it.

The interface comes down to three simple graphs placed on the desktop that show RAM and CPU usage, but also computer uptime.

In addition, the application places an icon in the System Tray that lets you call it at any time because there are no dedicated options to keep the window always on top or behind the rest of the windows.

In fact, there are many tools missing from CPU & Ram Meter, including other skins and configuration settings to let users change not only the way the application looks, but also the information it provides.

Obviously, since it's all so simple, CPU & Ram Meter needs just a small amount of resources to run properly, without slowing down the operating system at all. Nevertheless, Windows 7 users must run the application with administrator privileges, otherwise it may not load.

As a conclusion, CPU & Ram Meter may be a handy way to track RAM and CPU usage, but several major improvements are definitely a must if the developer hopes to attract more users.

There's no skin support, no configuration screen to change the displayed information and not even the standard window controls to keep it always on top.
