The meter is hotplug aware, and will show activity on FireWire and USB disks the second they are mounted. Here you can see the disk activity for local disks. Also from this menu you may open the Activity Monitor and the Console. You can set the colors that will be used to indicate system, user and 'nice' CPU loads.Д¬licking on the Menu Meter will bring up a menu in which you can see additional information such as the uptime the number of tasks and the number of threads active as well as an activity average history in the last minute, in the last five minutes and in the last fifteen minutes. You can choose to display the activity either as a percentage that indicates how much is being used, as a graph, as a thermometer or as any combination of the above. If you happen to have more than one processor, you can opt to have each one show individually, or having them both averaged as one. You can display the activity of both the user and the system as an average or choose to display each separate. This little menu meter will display the activity of the CPU. This is once again good news for those mobile users, who usually have several extra menu items enabled, because this little baby will not reorder your menubar on every login.

The only real difference between this little monitor and others is that this one is a true MenuExtra which can be dragged around for reordering and dragged off the bar for removing, just like any other Apple item in the right half of the menubar. MenuMeters is one such utility that monitors the memory, CPU, disk and network activity of your Mac. But if you already suffer from window clutter, or work on a PowerBook and are short on screen real estate, you need something that will take up as little space as possible and tell you everything you need to know. Widgets and other information utilities are plentiful and diverse in both look and functionality.

All history graphs allow a shorter (11 pixel) length.
