MACNERD1984 Yep; I do. I have no interest in how hot the processor is running - Can't do much about it anyway, and I'll hear the fans kick in anyway. I use CPU Percentage and that's that. Anyway, I know when my MBP is running hot, because It scorches my genitalia as it sits on my lap; kind of like my own temperature sensor.

NYMPHE You probably didn't read developers site: http://www.ragingmenace.com/index.html MenuMeters 1.3 does not run on Snow Leopard because the process that hosts the MenuMeters plugins (SystemUIServer) is now 64-bit. There are a number of subtle 64-bit bugs in MenuMeters so more than a simple recompile is needed. I'm working on an update to MenuMeters and expect to have a public beta shortly after Snow Leopard retail availability.

HOBY Excellent little bit of code. My menubar is getting kind of crowded these days but menu meters are just so very useful! And with all the customizing you can do, they can either take up a little or a lot of bar space, depending on your needs. They seem to use up far less CPU, RAM and any other three letter acronym than other metering/monitoring tools I've used - and they're configurable. I also like this software because it doesn't try to all kinds of crazy useless things that it shouldn't. It does what it does and it does it well. And it's free.

The tools can be used for monitoring, troubleshooting, or simply having fun with your computer. A really great program, especially for the price (free!)

ANONYMOUS I've seen a few reviews of this talking about how little cpu MenuMeters uses... These people either need to learn a bit more about OSX, or they need to look harder. With MenuMeters installed, the window manager process regularly spikes up to ~20% cpu usage! MenuMeters is a menu extra / NSStatusBarItem, which means it runs 'inside' other system processes, like SystemUIServer and the window server. Removing MenuMeters and reverting back to Apple's Activity Monitor (the best combination of features/low-impact I've found) lowered the CPU usage down to around 5%. I used to love this thing, but now that it's uninstalled I'm noticing how much 'snappier' things are...

ADEN Here's an example of why using MenuMeters uses up worse cpu time than something like XRG. XRG is niced, so whatever cpu it does use, it'll give up if requested. MenuMeters, in addition to the time its application process gives up, uses time inside the SystemUIServer and WindowServer processes, which may not be as nice as a normal application cpu monitor. MenuMeters is a fine utility, and if you want your graphs in the menu bar, there's not much alternative. Just be aware of the issues involved.

ANONYMOUS This is the best, most useful monitor-type utility around. Doesn't take up screen space, can be configured to take up a minimal amount of menubar space, and it shows me anything I need to know at a glance. It's relatively CPU-friendly as well.

ANONYMOUS its a great app. its great to see what RAM other apps use. Strangly after closing soome of apps i used and launching Mac Help -reclaims all the ram like 40MB back to unused number. I tested several times, looks like apple has it built in for some odd reason.

ANONYMOUS Incredible app, especially for laptop users. Menu icons are extremely helpful and provide loads of information at a simple click. Very unobtrusive, they look like Apple intended them to be there. I would recommend this app to anyone! Things to add for next update: Perhaps more coloring options for activities. Other than that, flawless.

JUSTIN This little FREE utility should be in every poweruser's menu bar. Did I mention it was free too? It is very customizable, and provides USEFUL system information. Your CPU usage, RAM and Disk usage, and Network throughput all taking up minimal space in your menubar. You choose whether you which ones you want shown and how they are presented - graphs, percentages, etc. Besides the stream of system info it is provinding you, each of the icons in the menubar are also menus to the related applications. For instance if you click on the CPU usage icon it pulls down a menu with more detailed information plus a choice to open the Console or Activity Monitor. Very very slick and handy! I've installed this on powerbooks, G4 and G5 towers and haven't had any problems.

BISHER this is true. i have used "MenuMeters" for a long time on a G4 400. i recently got an iBook G3 600 and unfortunately "MenuMeters" worked fine once but after my second Restart it caused a kernel panic. I would be very happy if you (the author) could have a look into this problem. thankx for making such a great enhancement. Recommended for all who do not own an iBook. | |

ED I have a dual G5 with 2.5GB of RAM running under the new 10.2.8 release. Menu Meters seems to have trouble showing correct memory usage...right now I have 5 open and active apps and MM shows 1994MB free and only 54MB in use! Wow! My machine is super efficient if that's true. :) Other times it shows 3145MB used and 2249MB free with 64MB of swap...the math just doesn't add up. It worked fine on my old dual G4 with 2GB of ram. Just a caveat for the G5 users out there.

SWEATY EDDIE Absolutely excellent! Until today, I used a competing shareware system status monitoring tool, but I threw it right in the trash as soon as I tried out MenuMeters. This utility makes clever use of the otherwise wasted menu bar space, so you don't need to fret about floating status windows. It's almost absurdly customizable (optional anti-aliasing on a per-item basis? OK...) and doesn't stray into inappropriate domains like incoming mail that are (IMHO) better handled elsewhere. Just superb CPU, network, disk, and memory monitoring. I hate to follow the herd and give it five stars in every category, but MenuMeters has earned it!

I wanted a cpu moniter for years and dabled with all available till this came and the extras. it even survives by startup items purge frenzys. and the kicker is all the easy to use options and modes etc. Free is not why I use a cpu moniter. and beta, this is bug free (as a layman "bug free" me is not to be bugged by the product)
