Performance monitor in win2k

[TheBigZ]

Really all I want to monitor, is my total bandwidth, in & out. The 'bandwidth' option in the performance monitor doesn't seem to know about broadband, and it just cps out on the graph and I haven't found a way to adjust the scale. So I'm using 'bytes total/sec' instead. And that pretty much tells me what I need to know. But I really don't need this big display, a little detached window that just shows the numeric values would give me what I want. Is there a way to do that in performance monitor? Or maybe someone knows of a nice 3rd party app that will do the same thing? Maybe with just a little ican in the tray? I really don't want to waste cpu cycles on the fancy graph.

Thanks guys

WWW.PCPITSTOP.COM system tests.
The performance monitor in 2000 is not what you're looking for.

That looks like it does a similar test as the ZDnet page does, giving you a snapshot of you max band at that time. What I'm looking for is something that will monitor my ongoing band usage in either a small unobtrusive window, or better yet in a tray icon of some sort. In the past when I've tinkered with linux, I've found some nice little apps that do what I'm after in X.

They make some nifty apps, thanks. This will do for now.
