Compact Tray Meter is a compact utility to report CPU and RAM usage right off the notification tray area. There is a lot of software that report CPU and RAM usage, but most seem to be displaying it on a desktop or in some other area of the screen that can be obscured by other windows that doesnt make it very useful.
A small program that can display the real-time CPU and RAM usage right on the taskbars notification area (next to the clock).
Features:
1. Real-time reporting of the CPU activity.
2. Real-time reporting on the system RAM usage.
3. This program does not require installation, or administrative privileges to operate and can be run from any location on your hard drive.
4. This program also obtains the following information about the CPU(s) on your system (Central Processing Units):
5. Brand name of the CPU.
6. CPU architecture, i.e. 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.
7. CPU clock reading.
8. Number of physical and logical cores.
9. Number of NUMA nodes.
10. Information about L1/L2/L3 caches.
11. Additional technical information about CPU, reported directly by the die.
12. This program also obtains the following information about the RAM (or system memory):
13. Total amount of memory available for the operating system.
14. Total amount of memory physically installed in computer (youd be surprised to see this result on some systems!)
15. The size of the page file.
16. Detailed information about the memory banks physically installed in the system, such as:
17. Capacity of each RAM module in bytes
18. Form factor (DIMM, RIMM, etc)
19. Memory type (SDRAM, DDR, DDR-2, etc)
20. Type detail (synchronous, nonvolatile, etc)
21. RAM speed (566 ns, 800 ns, etc)
22. Data width (64 bits, etc)
23. Interleave information
24. Serial, manufactures, SKU and part numbers on RAM modules

Requirements:
* Visible tray notification area
* TruColor display with a 32-bit color scheme
