This compact utility displays real-time CPU, RAM and disk drives usage meters right on the taskbar notification area, or next to the system clock, that is always visible:

>> Special features:
-Real-time reporting of the CPU activity.
-Real-time reporting on the system RAM usage.
-Real-time reporting of the disk drives activity.
-Color coding of the readouts can indicate CPU/RAM/disk drive workload even without seeing the actual numbers.
-Support for higher resolutions and screen DPIs for better meters readability.
-Ability to safely remove (or eject) USB drives with one click of the mouse, even on older operating systems, such as Windows XP.
-This program does not require installation, or administrative privileges to operate and can be run from any location on your hard drive.
