Memory Usage Getter visually displays CPU and memory usage to help users identify resource-intensive programs.
Memory Usage Getter provides a visual representation of your memory and CPU usage similar to the Mac OS 9 "About this Macintosh" menu. Keep track of your memory usage as well as your CPU usage. One of the drawbacks is the intermittent registration dialogs.
The latest version offers an update to the process history window. The window now detects when a process quits and then is launched again, and the graphs continue to update accordingly. If a process stays active, despite attempts to kill it, MUG now automatically force kills it. MUG now features a new set of "Kill Special" menu items with command keystrokes, allowing you to quickly access and kill processes such as the Dock, Dashboard, Finder, menu bar, Classic, and Front Row.
Additional updates include more accurate reporting on Dock Icon and Overall Graph Window CPU usage. Double clicking on processes in table views will now reveal them in the Finder, open history windows for that process, or kill the selected process. All of these functionality options are user-customizable.
Moreover, you can now select multiple items in table views and perform actions on each selection. Dashboard widgets in Tiger are easier to distinguish in Tab and List View windows, and they correctly reveal in the Finder. Finally, Memory Usage Getter is now a universal binary that should run on Macs equipped with Intel processors, although this feature is untested.
Overall, Memory Usage Getter is an excellent software application for monitoring your memory and CPU usage in a user-friendly graphical interface.
