Software to monitor computer things

Post by jtbo » 31 Jul 2011 09:24 pm

I could not find cpu load monitor that would have been for my liking, so I did some research and found there was lot of free code available, currently it is not yet finished, there is one graphical clitch, there is green garbage at edge of meter, also this probably works only with english .NET, it seems to be that they translated bit too much of .NET 3.5 so in other languages will need rebuild of software in correspoding .NET language, which I think is pretty stupid.

Currently I have CPU load and Hard disk idle %, which tells how hard disk is working (which sometimes may freeze, has done twice for me but can't pinpoint why, also I have mem usage but it needs more work to be any use for anyone else.

I made these mostly just for myself to put on 2nd monitor, however I thought someone else might like to have such too, so there they are, no cost and no warranty, if you blow your computer it is not my fault, kind of disclaimer :lol:
