Constantly monitors? Is that really necessary? If its a server thats going to result in a huge dip in performance and efficiency, if its running a large db or major program.

Either way Norton SystemWorks includes a system-monitoring tool that sits in the windows tray, and you can choose what it monitors and how often, ram/hd/cache usage etc. and it'll throw out various logs as well.

Here is a proggy that will check it at intervals
