widgets slow you down tho why do you use them
I disabled the page file on my system since my HDD is extremely old and slow, and I only have 8GB so I have to be careful not to go over
Hence the need for a constant, accurate RAM monitor
Also I've kinda used them since I had my first computer so I like having it there, and the performance degradation isn't very severe (and for someone still running a loving Phenom II, that's saying something)
