    Hey guys,

    I'm dual booting xp and vista on my laptop. On my vista, i have this CPU/RAM meter gadget (The 'All CPU Meter' from addgadget.com) on my sidebar. It seemed really useful for me to see my RAM and CPU usage (on both cores).

    I was wondering whether there was a program for windows XP that displayed the same thing? Preferably free of course :p

    Thanks!

    Know about that, and the little trick to minimize it as well. But looking for one that shows each core's activity (have a core2 duo) and one that pops up with a smaller window.

    Thanks to everyone else who responded, will try them out tonight :D
