Need Sidebar Type Thing for Windows 2000
« on: September 08, 2009, 11:38:28 AM »
So I've recently fixed my laptop, and I've been using it quite a bit, but I miss my CPU and RAM usage side bar gadgets from Vista and 7. I'd like some recommendations for an replacement that will work on Windows 2000. Low resource usage is a must. This computer has a Pentium III and 384MB of RAM.

While not exactly the same as the sidebar gadgets, many motherboards have monitoring programs that are downloadable from their sites. They can monitor heat and CPU usage at least. Perhaps that's something you can use?

Here are some other recommended programs:
CPUID HW Monitor
CPUID Performance Monitor

PC Wizard (full system information)

I already have those programs, and they work just fine. What I want is some eye candy.

Ummm... I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for, though I'm not sure how well it'll run on that POS-Machine (no offense):

I think if you just have those two types of things running on it, it should work.... okay... I think...
