iSlayer.com has released iStat nano 2.0, a major upgrade to its free system monitor widget for Tiger’s Dashboard software.
iStat nano enables you to view detailed information about your Mac’s CPU usage, memory usage, hard drive space, bandwidth usage, temperature, fan speed, battery usage (for laptops) and much more. It’s free to use, although the developers ask users to offer a donation if they find it helpful.
The new version of iStat nano incorporates a brand new interface with new animated transitions and new colors; support for eight-core systems; uptime display and user-selected fan sensor; page ins and page outs display in memory usage; sorting capabilities in the process view; new preferences and shortcuts; improved support for local iDisks, and support for Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard.”
