Are you someone who likes to dig really deep into the hardware configuration of your computer? If so, HWiNFO32 is probably the best program ever for getting detailed system hardware information on the processor, hard drives, video cards, network cards, OS, and more.
Open up Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), and just double-click any of the graphs to make it transform into a little widget that shows you that single meter. Double-click it again to turn it back. Works in all version of Windows, and can be used for Network view as well (in Windows 7 at least).
SIW provides information about the hardware and software installed on your computer. From passwords to open ports to the date your battery was made, SIW puts hard to find system settings on your fingertips within seconds. Pro version for commercial users.
Want some little widgets showing off your CPU and memory usage that sit in the taskbar? You’re all covered with a tiny open source application that can be pinned to the taskbar, customized, etc. Lots of fun.
