Is there a utility that will present a continual desktop display of
percent of utilization of RAM? CPU?

In the same vein - is there a utility that will tell me what
application is actually running whenever I ask it to?

I find myself frequently wanting to know these things.

Thanks

"desktop sidebar" (freeware) has functions that'll do that.

What about the simple Task Manager - Performance tab for CPU+RAM charts and
Processes tab for process information. To open it, either do Ctrl+Alt+Del,
or right click on grey space on the TaskBar (between Start menu and clock).
For more detailed information on processes - google for "Process Browser".
 
Or Perfmon.exe

I downloaded it and installed it. As I run it, the only big usage % I
see is for 'disk'. Often is 100%, CPU and MEM and SWP remain low -
50% or less.
