If you're a Vista Sidebar gadget freak like me, then this one is for you. I ran across a gadget called System Monitor from BuildAGadget.com. This is one that can show you a whole bunch of information about your currently running system. This includes:
- Date
- Time
- Single, Dual, Quad core usage stats
- Memory usage stats
- WiFi signal strength
- Battery status and remaining time
- IP Address - both internal (NAT) and external
- Network tools - like WHOIS, Ping, Trace route, IP and Domain lookups
This basically lets you replace a bunch of other system Sidebar tools. The nice thing is that you can easily enable or disable any of these "monitors" and individually configure settings for them such as what to display (text or graphics), color of the display bar, and other specific information (number of cores/which IPs to show, etc.).
This is a great tool to be quickly informed about a number of system resources and a must if you use the Vista Sidebar.
