zMem1.0.0.1

If all your activities are performed on a computer, you might encounter situations in which performance starts to drop. On the other hand, there might not be a way around, except to keep a close watch on system resource usage, and relying on the Task Manager can be a little difficult. This is where zMem comes in handy.

View RAM and CPU usage in a small desktop indicator

First of all, the application saves you the entire time and effort required to go through a setup process, allowing you to check out the set of features from the moment download is done. More than this, it’s possible to have it stored and carried around on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers, while keeping the health status of the target PC intact.You might end up scratching your head for a while at first, because the application doesn’t reside in the tray area, and the desktop component is disturbingly thin and transparent, so there’s a chance you have a hard time identifying it. When you do, however, you can move the indicator to any suitable desktop position.

Comes with a built-in process manager

What the application does by default is to monitor CPU usage on your computer, and this is depicted under the form of a percentage indicator. Memory usage is also displayed next to CPU. On the bright side of things, the application doesn’t simply monitor activity, and also lets you manage several processes.There’s a context menu you can access through a right-click on the desktop object. Here, you have the possibility to open up the default Task Manager, or a custom one. The latter option displays a decent variety of details, but you can’t set up filters, or start new tasks.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that zMem is a pretty lightweight tool which can be used to keep CPU usage under control. The desktop indicator can be a little difficult to track, but it also comes with a custom Task Manager for better control over running processes.
