Show cpu and ram usage in taskbar?

I would like to be able to monitor my cpu usage and physical ram usage in the task bar, much like how windows 7 has a desktop gadget.
Google search has told me to use task manager, and to check the "hide when minimized" option, and it'll display the square green and black meter.
But for some reason when I tried to add a shortcut to task manager to my startup folder, that little graph never shows up anymore.

Also in the past, when I installed windows media center on my desktop, there was a little icon added that was black/green/yellow/red that monitored cpu usage. I can't seem to find that..
So does anyone know of a program that can monitor cpu usage AND physical ram? I'd appreciate it.

Done, when minimized there is no green icons :S

Nope, with the hide when minimized option is checked, it just minimizes to the task bar, and no icon is shown next to the clock.

But this would only monitor cpu usage. What about ram? I access this computer 9/10 of the time via RDC, so I can't really use anything very graphical
