Version: FreeMeter 2.8
Pros: Finally found a meter which can display my CPU & RAM usage without any glitches. It has many other meters so its great! Fully customisable. Can autorun on startup and sits quietly on the notification area.
Cons: its uses 6MB of memory, more than task manger but its ok for me since I got using 768Mb of memory.

"Best buddy to analyze the bottlenecks."
Pros: Shows everything you need to know about where your PC is having bottlenecks.
Cons: Won't specifically analyze which programs are causing the bottlenecks.

Version: FreeMeter 2.8.2
Pros: You can configure it to do exactly what you want--decide what to monitor as a tray icon, and what to monitor when you double click to open the program. CPU, network, disk, paging, etc all trackable/graphable.
Cons: Doesn't include CPU frequency.
Pro version required to see multiple CPU usage separately.

"Great for those with low resources"
Pros: ITs wonderful app that can pretty accuratly moniter practly your entire system. i installed this on a old computer because well it was well a complete pice od $#!7 and i need to montrer the resources when useing it. A great GUI for what it does its not cluttered and dosent lok bad. i Reccemend this if you need to moniter System resources. I have no cluse what that one guy is saying about his 32 bit moniter prefrences beging changed to 16 but hey hes on 98! i have never experenced this but it dose say ment for more Windows 2000-XP
Cons: None but it take about 5 CPU it self but hey if you need to moniter then you can spare 5 CPU.

Version: FreeMeter 2.8.2
Pros: Im A Pro-Reviewer. Meaning I Don't Review Lightly.
System Resource: Very Very Very Low Usage
Usability: To The Point
Comments: Doing what it states, it displays the cpu MHz MEGAHERTZ; NOT the Percentile (%) of cpu used.
Good For: Telling Your Cpu performance, if your cpu is underperforming, by looking at the MHz speed stated and comparing with your cpu advertised speed.
eg: My Laptop, is a 1.83gigahertz capable processor. Inquisitive, i set my cpu performance to the desired levels (using my Acer Emanager) ranging from low>medium>high>maximum. I monitor the cpu speed stated and realised my cpu runs at about max 900MHz at my usual medium cpu speed setting and on the maximum setting my cpu reached speeds of 1803.31 MHz of cpu performance. consistent with advertised.
other desc:
barebones program
VERY STABLE (no errors or crashes recorded thus far)
My Personal Stamp:
this software is tested spyware and virus FREE
Cons: turnoffs: for fussy users, the interface is THE PLAINEST POSSIBLE. not many options other than a small (somewhat ugly to some) plain windows explorer typical window with CPU speed stated in MHz and nothing else.
could-be con: for some, they might want a MORE realtime monitor. this monitors cpu ONLY in 10seconds intervals, which is actually my preferred.
cons: barebones.
