Free Meter http://www.tiler.com/freemeter A great little real time monitor that uses very little resource whilst giving some they useful information. Monitors CPU, Disk and Memory activity. Highly configurable, it is the best one of its kind that I have found in years. Wouldn't be without it. See Article 012 and Tutorial 03 for more information. At the above site click on the "Download" tab and on the next page select "FreeMeter V2.8 - Click to Download" on the left hand side. Agree to the Licence Agreement and on the next page click the "Download Now" button. On the next page click on the "Download Now" button again. |

Stat Bar Monitor http://www.statbar.nl An alternative to FreeMeter, StatBar is a system status bar which provides a handy, orderly overview of your system's condition. It allows you to monitor and control various aspects of your system. This includes memory, CPU and disk usages, system uptime, network throughput, Internet time synchronization, and more. At the above site click on the "Download" link on the left hand side. On the next page click on the "Statbar X.XXX setup program" link. On the next page click on one of the servers listed under "Location". |

WinDirStat http://windirstat.info Your hard disk is almost full, and you don't know, where the big files which occupy all the space are actually residing. This software gives you a Directory (Folder) List in order of the largest directories down to the smallest and allows you to drill down to find large files. The software also gives you a visual interpretation in a Tree Map and allows you to "home in" on the large files and find their location quickly. The third component is an Extension List that you can use to find all the files with a particular extension (e.g. mp3). At the above site, scroll down and click on the link called "WinDirStat 1.1.2 Setup (Ansi & Unicode)" under the heading "Downloading and Installing WinDirStat". On the next page click on the "click here" link in the orange part of the Sourceforge.Net page header. See Article 017 for more information. |
