    Is there a program that could display thru a pop-up balloon or bar (by hovering over the notification area icon) the ff info: hard disk temperature, cpu temperature, battery charge remaining, if the notebook is running on battery or AC power and the amount of remaining free RAM. Optional info that will be useful: computer uptime and cpu utilization


    Right now, what I use is 'A Really Small App' (this is the name of the program :) ) - http://www.answersthatwork.com/Downright_pages/A_really_small_app.htm
    It shows CPU usage, remaining free RAM, how long the computer has been running and other information but not the other stuff that I mentioned above which is useful for notebook users.

    I have tried NHC, but for some reason it can't show my CPU temperature (ASUS NBProbe can), doesn't show free RAM and slows Windows startup time significantly.
