there isn't a feature but there maybe an applescript.

There's a piece of software that does it, but I can't remember what.

 

[LeeTom]

yeah, there's this software... what's it called? oh yeah...
The Finder.
click on the Desktop area, go up to View -> Show View Options.
Check the "Show Item Info" box.

Do you mean memory? Or do you mean disk space info?

If you mean memory, forget about it.

If you mean disk space, what LeeTom suggested is what you want.

Good point but I'm guessing disk space because displaying the memory would be pretty close to ****ing pointless! 😉

I display my memory usage using aquamon... I don't really see how it's pointless.

I display my memory usage too. Not under the Macintosh HD icon though 🙄

Well I didn't say I did it under the HD icon. Just that it's not useless like the poster said.

I think they ment that displaying the total amount of RAM in the system at all times would be pretty pointless, not the memory usage, as that is quite useful.
