If you are looking for a highly configurable system monitor you should take a closer look at Glint. The software displays system activity of many – and I really mean many – different values. The default program window alone displays 26 different values like CPU Processor Time, Disk Read and Write Bytes and Memory Bytes available.
Since this looks like an overkill every user can configure the display by removing and adding new activities. The user can choose from five different categories which are Processor, Memory, Objects, System and WMI Objects. Each category holds lots of activities that can be monitored.
Glint is probably not an application for a novice user but someone with a lot of experience can find this really useful. The design of the application might seem confusing at first glance as well, you see 25 blinking colored lights and I would highly suggest to change the layout to graphs and reduce the number of activities that are shown.
Glint does not need to be installed at all which makes it ideal as a quick tool to analyze system activity.
