Resource Meter?

Is there a way in XP-Home to put a resource meter in the sys tray like I
used to be able to do on my old Win 95 system? I do have a lot of RAM on the
new computer, but I liked being able to see that meter to tell if I was
overloading the system. Does such a thing exist in XP Home?

Thanks!

Resource Monitor just watched the two 64 KB Resource sections of memory.
WinXP doesn't have the 64 KB limit and therefore doen't have Resourde
Monitor.
 
Okay - so is there any way I can check to see how much RAM I am using? Seems
I stumbled into a box that told me, but now I can't remember how to get back
into it.

Thanks!

Thanks Jim! I did just find this again - very different that the old C+A+D
close programs box!

Thanks!!
 
XP is different and I think much better. When I get a spare
$100 or so I am going to install XP Home on our old HP6465
(433 Celeron) and get a stable system that doesn't crash
weekly and require a clean install every few months. I
think a lot of that trouble begins with the HP OEM
customized software.
