Performance Gadgets for Google Desktop

I have some recommendations for performance gadgets to be used with Google Desktop Sidebar. I do hope that you might like them.

1. Performance Meter - This is a Vista-like sidebar gadget that show the CPU and RAM loading with an appealing gauge meter.



2. HDDLife - A tool for keeping track the health of Hard disks on your computer. It not only monitors the status (read/write) of the HDD but also detects the temperature and health of each disk and alarms you when threshold is reached. It also uses an appealing gauge meter to show the status.



3. System Monitor - A gadget by Google which can be added by Google Desktop's Add Gadget; search for System Monitor and add the one shown in the picture. It uses graph-like interface that is less appealing, but it shows more detail for HDD read/write and Network IO. There's another gadget called System Monitor too but it doesn't work on my computer. Also, I can't find a link to this gadget on Google Desktop website.

Until then...
