Compact Tray Meter 1.1

It is true that there is a lot of software that report CPU and RAM usage, but most seem to be displaying it on a desktop or in some other area of the screen that can be obscured by other windows that doesn't make it very useful. This compact utility displays the real-time CPU and RAM usage right on the taskbar's notification area (next to the system clock)

The following features are available:

• Real-time reporting of the CPU activity.
• Real-time reporting on the system RAM usage.
• This program does not require installation, or administrative privileges to operate and can be run from any location on your hard drive.
• This program also obtains the following information about the CPU(s) on your system (Central Processing Units):
  • Brand name of the CPU.
  • CPU architecture, i.e. 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.
  • CPU clock reading.
  • Number of physical and logical cores.
  • Number of NUMA nodes.

  • Additional technical information about CPU, reported directly by the die.
• This program also obtains the following information about the RAM (or system memory):
  • Total amount of memory available for the operating system.
  • Total amount of memory physically installed in computer(you'd be surprised to see this result on some systems!)
  • The size of the page file.
  • Detailed information about the memory banks physically installed in the system, such as:
    • Capacity of each RAM module in bytes
    • Form factor (DIMM, RIMM, etc)
    • Memory type (SDRAM, DDR, DDR-2, etc)
    • Type detail (synchronous, nonvolatile, etc)
    • RAM speed (566 ns, 800 ns, etc)
    • Data width (64 bits, etc)
    • Interleave information
    • Serial, manufacture's, SKU and part numbers on RAM modules
