I'm looking to get my CPU usage and RAM usage (in a percentage) displayed either at the top where the time is, or ideally in my Dashboard. Is there a way to do this? Using Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro.

You can do either one with iStat. I use the Dashboard version (iStat Pro), there's also a lite version that sits in the menubar.

Hi there,

I use MenuMeters which, amongst other things, displays CPU, network and RAM details in your menu bar. :Blushing:

I hope this info helps. :Cool:

The menubar version is iStat Menus. $16. I use this version. Love it, would buy it again. It is a very nice setup, and some of the settings can replace Apple menubar items with nicer ones.
