Rainmeter is awesome but i turn it off when i'm gaming, i need all that precious ram. haha

What? Are you trying to game with like 1 GB of memory or something? The most ram intensive game I've ever played was PA, but only on systems with a bunch of planets, and literally thousands of units. That game only took ~5.1 GB of memory. Most basic systems have 8 GB of RAM now-a-days.
Rainmeter was pretty fun for a while, just took way too long to get a decent setup using it.
