If you're willing to use a seperate program, Samurize has plugins that can achieve this, as well as mostly everything GDS can do, except search. – Phoshi Aug 29 '09 at 14:56

I wanted a gadget because I already use a few of them and have space left in my sidebar. – Nifle Aug 30 '09 at 17:45

I found a VMware CPU tracker, but I don't think that's what you want. – The Green Frog Aug 31 '09 at 19:02

If you are really concerned about the memory utilization on your system,
you would not keep such gadgets active on your desktop in the first place.
This is what I would suggest for tracking process utilization,
All of these are listed on this light-weight CPU usage monitor question.
- TinyResMeter -- for light weight memory utilization tracking.
Or, setup the Moo0 System Monitor.
When you get concerned about the memory utilization shift to Process Explorer - Process Explorer -- keep this handy,
and start it when you need to identify who is taking up memory.
Its usually not a big guess as to who is using the top memory
if you have Firefox and some AV tools running.
When you do get troubled with some top-resource-user,
its usually more than processor and RAM utilization you want to analyze
(procexp.exe is quite good in such times)
Update: If you do want to implement a Gadget for this purpose,
The Sysinternals Suite has a tool called pslist
that can be used to
get the top memory users like this (I am using this from a Cygwin shell),
pslist -m | sort -n -k 4 | tail -3
That gave me an output like
pslist v1.28 - Sysinternals PsList Copyright © 2000-2004 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals svchost 1716 215996 32552 20276 166788 164579 74 145 explorer 2620 199768 53236 58272 69596 1034872 29 177 firefox 3408 225032 140324 126876 140164 161522 28 83 #header line patched in for reference #Name Pid VM WS Priv Priv Pk Faults NonP Page

I'm well aware of other third party products. I wanted a Google gadget, that's why I asked for one. – Nifle Aug 30 '09 at 17:42

I know that this is not for Google Desktop, but Windows Sidebar has a low memory usage CPU and RAM meter. Otherwise, use a small program, not a gadget, like Moo0 System Monitor.
Get Vista sidebar in XP (just some possibilities, they might or might not work): http://vista-sidebar-xp.en.softonic.com/
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/11/17/get-the-vista-sidebar-in-xp/ - this ones looks pretty good
http://techblissonline.com/vista-sidebar-windows-xp/
Of course, should you not want to the vista sidebar (which is actually semi-cool)...

I read some of the comments at softonic. It seems that there are problems adding new gadgets to it – Nifle Sep 01 '09 at 11:04
