Taskbar CPU meter ?

stanswx · 01-08-06, 03:50 PM

With all the talk about battery meters in the taskbar, I was wondering if there's anything similar for monitoring the CPU usage? The only thing I could find doing a search was XCPUScalar which costs money and is more of an overclocking program than a meter. (though it does seem to show the CPU speed and usage in the task bar) I'm currently using Magic Button for my battery meter, but would like something for the CPU usage. Has anyone run across anything? Thanks!

Check out Beemer's XscaleMonitor. It is minimalist, but works good, and shows not only cpu usage, but battery and memory in a tiny area at the bottom of the screen. http://personales.ya.com/beemer/xscalemonitor.htm

That doesn't seem to work on my X30. It runs, but I don't see any bars. The website seems to indicate it's for the X50, so maybe it doesn't support the X30. Thanks for the link though!

I use Vidya Task Manager (vidyasmart.com) for monitoring CPU, threads and processes and it has an optional CPU meter which sits on top of the today screen.
