Compact Tray Meter 1.1
here is a lot of software that report CPU and RAM usage, but most seem to be displaying it on a desktop or in some other area of the screen that can be obscured by other windows that doesn't make it very useful. This compact utility displays the real-time CPU and RAM usage right on the taskbar's notification area (next to the clock).
The following features are available:
* Real-time reporting of the CPU activity.
* Real-time reporting on the system RAM usage.
* This program does not require installation, or administrative privileges to operate and can be run from any location on your hard drive.
* This program also obtains the following information about the CPU(s) on your system (Central Processing Units):
o Brand name of the CPU.
o CPU architecture, i.e. 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.
o CPU clock reading.
o Number of physical and logical cores.
o Number of NUMA nodes.
o Information about L1/L2/L3 caches.
o Additional technical information about CPU, reported directly by the die.
* This program also obtains the following information about the RAM (or system memory):
o Total amount of memory available for the operating system.
o Total amount of memory physically installed in computer (you'd be surprised to see this result on some systems!)
o The size of the page file.
o Detailed information about the memory banks physically installed in the system, such as:
+ Capacity of each RAM module in bytes
+ Form factor (DIMM, RIMM, etc)
+ Memory type (SDRAM, DDR, DDR-2, etc)
+ Type detail (synchronous, nonvolatile, etc)
+ RAM speed (566 ns, 800 ns, etc)
+ Data width (64 bits, etc)
+ Interleave information
+ Serial, manufacture's, SKU and part numbers on RAM modules
+ And more, where available.
* We attempted to write this program with as small of an imprint on the system resources as possible to improve the accuracy of its reporting.
