Dash Monitors: Monitoring for your Dashboard

Dash Monitors is a Widget that runs under Mac OS X Tiger's new Dashboard functionality. Dash Monitors displays a graphic summary of your system resource usage including:

    * CPU usage. (Dual Processor Compatible)
    * Memory usage including Wired, Active, Inactive, and Free memory.
    * Network bandwidth being used.
    * Disk read and write speed. 

Dash Monitors is great for users who would like to run a system monitor but do not want to sacrifice any screen real-estate while working.
Monitor Modes

There are 3 modes for each of the monitors: text, simple, and graphical. The text view mode shows a very simple text view of the resources being used and is beneficial because it takes very few system resources to generate the statistics. The simple view mode is the original view from Dash Monitors 1.0, and includes simple bar charts to show statistics in a graphical way without th eye candy. The graphical view mode, while taking more CPU resources to draw all the monitors, displays a fully imaged graphical interface to what is happening on the system. Text summaries are provided with the monitors in simple and graphical mode to provide the exact data along with the graphical approximations.
Open Source

Dash Monitors takes advantage of MTK for all of the statistics it gathers. MTK is open source and can be downloaded from the Gaucho Software Open Source pages. Look for more features in Dash Monitors as MTK is more fully developed.
