Istat Menus

[musicman691]

Long time Mac users will probably know about the iStat Pro widget for system monitoring. It has sections for temps of various parts of the system, network usage, processes running, etc. all in a little widget. Use it on my Powerbook G4 and Mac Mini. I like it because you don't have it running all the time.

Been doing some reading and find out iStat Pro hasn't been and won't be updated to be fully Mountain Lion compliant. Also find out there's iStat Menus which is a pay-for ($16 US), sits in your menu bar, and probably runs all the time. We all know how finicky PT gets with extra processes running. Anybody run iStat Menus when PT 10 is running and do you experience any problems?

Anybody run the old iStat Pro widget on ML with success? Problems?

I really don't need something like this running all the time; just want to be able to check things every couple of hours or so.
