I have to monitor my computer physical memory (RAM) usage constantly when I'm working, because sometimes I will work with multiple applications (e.g Sublime Text, Photoshop, MS Visual Studio and Chrome with 10+ tabs open) - and I want to know what's the current RAM usage so I won't push it too far.
Currently, in order to monitor my computer's RAM usage, that's what I do:
Open Windows Task Manager → Go to Performance
tab → Watch Memory box
/ Physical Memory: (Usage Percentage)
at the bottom:
However it's not convenient. Sometimes I will open 5 new tabs in Chrome and forget to monitor my RAM because the Windows Task Manager is minimized - only to find that something is going to crash because I'm using too much RAM, followed by my PC shutting down Chrome to free some memory.
What I want is to constantly view and monitor my computer's RAM usage in all of my application, including my browser.
