I am looking for a system monitor for my current generation 27" quad

Not use one with OSX before. What do people use and which ones to
avoid?
I don't know of any to avoid, but I have used Menu Meters and loved it,
iStat Menus and liked it, and just recently someone turned me onto
ATMonitor. It is very much like Apple's Activity Monitor.app but with
some advanced features, and by advanced I mean if you don't know what
you're doing (I don't), you can screw things up.
I used to recommend iStat Menus at v1, however v2 had some issues that
were never addressed, and I've never tried v3 because it became
shareware and I can't afford it. Menu Meters is a longtime favorite of
many seasoned Mac users. Little Snitch has network monitoring
capabilities, but it's primary function is to control outgoing connections.
