Like the title says. I know that it gives an average of the total cores but since there is pretty much no documentation, I was woundering if there might be some secret syntax that will do the do. Yes, I know that RainMeter will do this but ; 1.) I would like to keep it in the (BB) family and 2.) going through the hassel of making a completely custom RainMeter skin is not something I would look forward to be doing.

I am afraid I am a little lost here. All you gotta do is ctrl+ right click on an element (frame or button) and then go  Control Options/Caption/System Monitor/CPU Usage.

Or did you mean something else?

OK, a bit more in depth... I've had a bbI system monitor for quite some time now and it was great when I was on a Pentium 4 that only has a single core CPU (see the attached pic). But I have (since late Dec.) assembled a new computer with an Intel I5 chip that has 4 CPU cores and 16 gig of RAM (this will be 32 gig within a month or two). Two of the bbI system meters have now become unnessissary: swap file is always at 0%, page file is always at 5%. And RAM has never gone over around 25% or so (so far) even when I have a fairly heavy project loaded in my DAW. The RAM usage should get cut in half once I fill the other two memory slots and there is not a real good reason to monitor it other than if a proggy has a memory leak. I need to redo my meters and there are 4 slots to fill and 4 CPU cores... Since bbInterface iTunes was coded after multicore CPU's came along, I was just wondering if that support was added. But only a developer would know for sure since, as I said before, there is not a lot of documentation... I can just use two larger meters (RAM & CPU) but I figure there is no harm in asking in the off chance that there is a way to do the 4 cores.

I have an i7 with the same issues. No multicore support, I am afraid... And no need for more RAM if you don't have a 64-bit environment...

In Conky Linux, it can be done like this :

${color yellow}Core 0: ${hr 2}$colorFreq: ${freq 1}MHz${cpubar cpu1 10,70}${cpugraph cpu1 000000 ffffff}${color red}Core 1: ${hr 2}$colorFreq: ${freq 2}MHz${cpubar cpu2 10,70}${cpugraph cpu2 000000 ffffff}${color yellow}Core 2: ${hr 2}$colorFreq: ${freq 3}MHz${cpubar cpu3 10,70}${cpugraph cpu3 000000 ffffff}${color red}Core 3: ${hr 2}$colorFreq: ${freq 4}MHz${cpubar cpu4 10,70}${cpugraph cpu4 000000 ffffff}

I believe there is a way of doing it in BB as well..

I use the latest build. Had to disable Avast to save... I also had to disable Avast to install the exe, it still gives warning about Evo Win32 virus. In fact, it deleted the exe as soon as I re-enabled Avast. Is anyone else facing the same issues with other antivirus apps?

I see Avast gives a clean bill of health to BBZero on virustotal, but yet it refuses to give it a pass on my computer. Funny thing is, as soon as I installed BBZero (disabling Avast) I enabled Avast and let it check BBZero, the folder. It didn't find anything suspicious. It's enough to drive you nuts...

OK, what is the syntax you use to display different cores?
