X3 for Mac OS X has landed

[jakeluck]

X³ is an application that visualizes the system performance in the form of
a realtime rotating 3D-object in the Dock. It is designed to use very
little memory and processor cycles so you can keep it running all the
time.

That's a neat little app thanks! It doesn't give much in the way of detailed info, but its a neat little util to quickly check out just how badly resizing windows clogs up your processor Plus it look cool just sitting there spinning in the Dock!

put it in your "login" pane of your system prefs.

i agree, this little app is cool!

Quite inaccurate but it's definitely cool... Color changing with CPU load would rock.
Do you think the same could be done to interact with iTunes for instance ? Keeping the beat or sth like that...
