TaskMeter description
Monitor system resources from your taskbar using TaskMeter

TaskMeter lets you put your CPU usage graph right on your taskbar. Using TaskMeter you can also measure a wide variety of other things, including disk access, network access, memory usage, context switches and many more. Anything you can monitor in performance monitor (perfmon), you can monitor in TaskMeter. You can even monitor statistics for different machines on your network!

Dock TaskMeter to any edge of any monitor, or put it inside your taskbar. It behaves exactly like any other "desk band" (aka explorer toolbar or taskbar toolbar) on the system.

TaskMeter supports multiple graphs, with multiple lines, and user-definable colors and font settings. XML data files make it easy to automate or deploy throughout an enterprise, and low resource consumption ensures you'll get accurate data.

Limitations:

· The demo version stops displaying the graphs after approximately 15 minutes of running. To get the graphs back, reboot your system (or kill and re-run explorer.exe), and you'll be all set for the next 15 minutes.
