Taskbar Meters

Windows 7 provided us with various improvements in terms of managing programs on the task bar, along with some new options, like checking on a task's progress from its corresponding place on the bar.

You can use Taskbar Meters to keep an eye on the status of your processor, RAM memory, and hard drive from the task bar of Windows 7.

Each meter opens separately and displays a different segment on the task bar. This, combined with the new features from Windows, enables you to keep constant watch on CPU utilization, RAM memory used, and the IO status of your hard drive.

Taskbar Meters also allows you to choose which levels to consider medium and high, and will then assign those levels a different color on the meter according to your system conditions.
