Mac OS X Memory Monitor

Links
It's great when you've resolved to write some software, only to discover it's already been written.

I had decided I needed a utility that acts like Mac OS X's "CPU Monitor", only it would monitor memory usage. I have a gig of ram in my PowerBook, but after a few weeks of uptime, I like to get a feel about the state of my machine's resources.

Turns out Bernhard Baehr has beaten me to the punch with his Memory Monitor. Very well done. Not only does it display wired, active, inactive and free memory temporally, it also will graph pageins and pageouts. All in its little dock icon. Simply wonderful, and free.
