captainbriggs Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I am a Mac man all the way. But there is one thing that I like in Vista; the CPU and Memory gauges in the Windows sidebar. I want something similar in 10.5. I tried this: I found a dashboard gadget that displayed CPU and Memory usage. I found a program that would allow me to put it on the desktop. The problem: the program that allowed me to park it on my desktop would only update the gauge every minute at the fastest... useless. Does anyone know of a way that I can park those Windows Vista gauges (or something very similar, and functional) on my 10.5 desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXcalibUr88 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 i use iStat.. it is a freeware.. got it from apple.com it puts the gauge on your toolbar, right beside the time and date.. you can customize how long it will update.. i have mine every 10s..

sg Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 for just cpu usage, i use activity monitor that comes with OSX in applications -> utilities and let it sit in the dock. once you open activity monitor you can have the dock icon act as your CPU usage meter by going to view -> dock icons -> show cpu usage.
