I'm curious as to what the recommendations are. I using a widget right now, but it seems off. Any good free ones out there that I should check out?

MenuMeters is pretty popular. iPulse is pretty slick.

Personally, I find good old Activity Monitor works just fine.

Great thread. I was looking for something like this. Ipulse seems very cool but the novelty wears off quick. MenuMeter is VERY functional

I'm using Menumeters at the moment. It's pretty good, simple to use. Now I can watch my cpu his 100% while web brosing. I would say I'll look into another system monitor, but I'd be lying. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
