Samurize.com - (Freeware)
Monitoring the system is a very easy task to do with Samurize which offers many possibilities of configuration.
Samurize is a tool for customizing Windows altogether surprisingly.
It allows to keep an eye on many vital data such as available memory, CPU temperature, disk usage, network traffic, etc.
All information appears as desired by the user who has an advanced configuration tool to define the location and shape of individual indicators manner. The publisher's website offers many screenshots that can give some inspiration and a lot of scripts to integrate even more features (weather, TV programs, etc).
For a minimum memory usage, the configuration program is totally separate from the client.
