Another one of my permanent sidebar gadgets in Windows 7 is from the Windows 7 Personalization Gallery gadget section – the All CPU Meter:
This gadget adapts based on however many cores you have, up to 24, and allows you to keep an eye on the level of work your processor is doing. It also tracks your RAM usage, shows your CPU clock speed and the graphic changes to show the manufacturer of your processor.
The author of this gadget provides a great breakdown of the entire gadget interface:

Hmm… I can get to the 3.3 version with the link that you and the developer have given using Chrome 6 but not using IE 9 beta, even after flushing the cache and browser history?! This is bizarre. Any ideas why this should be so?
That is strange as I was able to grab it without any problem. I grabbed the one that is on his site – the update did not seem to be in the Windows Live Gallery at the time I downloaded.
Here is the direct link to the All CPU Meter Page – http://addgadget.com/all_cpu_meter/
The All CPU Meter V3.1 and V3.2 loads by are completely blank after installing Explorer 9 Beta on my Windows 7-64 system .. I have seen other similar posts but have not seen the solution ..
Same thing here – even the 3.0 version is blank. I will contact the dev on that and ask for some assistance.
I just got an email reply from the gadget dev and he has fixed the problem already.
Just go to the site and download version 3.3

That was a very fast reply to the issue.
I also contacted the developer and was directed to download the 3.3 version but it is not available on the website at this moment.
