GKrellM is a system monitor utility that was originally designed for Linux, but which now runs on a number of operating systems including OS X, Linux, and Windows. Out of the box, the utility includes modules for monitoring your CPU, memory, and network use as well as running processes and several other items. Each module can be customized to look different or display different information. And there's a huge list of plugins that you can use to add features like:
- Show clipboard entries
- Display images
- Show the time in several different time zones
- Monitor your Folding@Home account
- Control media players
GKrellM is an open source application, with installation packages available for Windows and several Linux distributions including Debian, SUSE, RedHat, and Mandrake. It's also available for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. Getting it up and running on OS X is a bit more complicated, but still doable.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

For those on OS X, use iStatPro. It's a Dashboard widget which does what this monitor does and more. And it's completely free as well.

Yeah, for OS X, iStat Pro (or iStat menus, my personal favorite) is the way to go. You can even monitor your Mac remotely using iStat server and the iStat iphone app (2.99 USD for iphone app, desktop apps are free).
