Viewing Mem Usage?

OK I am in need of a program that will show me the running tasks and the amount of memory that each task is using (not storage space). I tried a few programs but I have not found any that will show me the memory usage. Thanks in advance.

Lots of programs show the total memory useage, but I don't know of any that break it down by task, or that separate storage from program memory. I guess it's because the OS is always trying to optimize the storage/program split, and because many programs change their program memory use dynamically.

Even though I get hooted down every time I say this, my favorite memory use indicator is Gigabar, because of all the other functions it includes, and because it is rock solid stable.
The world may not be perfect yet, but the Axim is (almost).

Yeah I really need something that reports memory usage by task. Like NT's task manager or XP Pro's. The reason is that it shows that 7 megs are being used and I only have very little running. SO I want to find out who is being the memory hog or if something has a memory leak. Thanks though for the suggestion.

Maybe you could try closing tasks one at a time, noting the memory usage each time, then manually figuring out what's going on. Also, I think the PPC suffers from a lot of memory leaks, which I mostly blame on poorly written applications (although I really have no evidence). Memory leaks are fixed with a soft reset.

This program sort of shows what you are asking, but not like the task manager...

In the sticky thread I post a link to a program called Task Manager from PHM, chekc it out.

If you want a CPU monitor on ppc screen Pocket Backup Plus has a great one too.
