iStat Pro is the ultimate System monitoring widget, consisting of 9 sections which can be minimized, expanded or closed. It features detailed information on CPU, memory, hard drives, IP and external IP, bandwidth, CPU temperature, battery, uptime, temperatures and fans. You'll know exactly what's going on inside your Mac!
RICKSEG I've been using iStat for about a year and this is a great update. I particularly like the addition of the mouse battery usage icon. Saves me from opening System Preferences periodically to check it. Also, I'm not seeing the CPU usage problem Bambam has posted about. There's no detectible CPU usage by this widget on my machine.

STRYCH9 Too bad it is a widget, an app would have been better, widget are ram hungry, even when you don't need them. Nice app though! Keep up the good work! (Version 4.92)
BAMBAM Version 4.9 great, but one little problem here : when iStat Pro 4.9 is active in Dashboard, the Dashboard applicaton eats about 10% of prosessor activity, as shown by Activity Monitor, even when the widgets are not shown on the desktop.
Disabling iStat Pro 4.9 then results in near 0% activity required by Dashboard.
Re-installation of iStat Pro 4.8 also results in near 0% activity required by Dashboard.
Is it my iMac G5 - 2GHz - 2GB Ram - 10.5.7, or is it version 4.9 of iStat Pro ?
FRANZ1234 I just updated and it runs flawless. Maybe it's your machine. I'm on a Macbook Pro, Leopard 10.5.7 and the Dashboard takes 0.0 CPU if I believe what the Activity Monitor says. (Version 4.9)

BLLOYD iStat Pro really is great. A beautiful, functional, low-impact "dashboard" of what's going on on your Mac.
I've used iStat Pro on and off for years; I was using iStat Menus because it was easier but right now it's incompatible with 10.6 (they know about this and will be addressing it), so I'm back to iStat Pro which is really a very nice dashboard widget. (Version 4.9)
CRYPTO7 Awesome program... does it what it says, doesn't require too much RAM for it (but I guess that's relatively speaking if you have 8 GB) and it's the only thermal program I can find that has all the temps w/out installing some ugly hack or startup item. (Version 4.6)
GUNNI Is anyone else running Leopard having a problem with this neat little widget? I downloaded and ran it in Tiger and it displayed normally. In Leopard, however, it displays as if it my monitor were broken. Other widgets display just fine, but iStat Pro is pixelated and difficult, but not impossible, to read. Bob (Version 4.5)
