Hi fred,
go here, www.google.com and type in Broadband speed.

You`ll get a page of options.
Click one, and do your test.

Just go to Add gadgets and look at the ones available. I think at the
present time there are at least 3. Some additionally show your CPU (core)
usage as well as Ram usage. There is a reason they call then Gadgets :-)

Nice try mr liar. I have three clocks from around the world, three
weather gadgets that match the clocks, a day/month calendar, various
stocks that I follow, USD/EUR gadget and a cpu/memory usage indicator.
Useful info that I like to know at-a-glance.
You're jealous of all the capabilities of Vista, gadgets being among them.
Live with it loser!
