* PowerPC or Intel based Macintosh (Universal Binary). * MacOS X 10.2 (Jaguar), MacOS X 10.3 (Panther), or MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger). Both the arrows and the graph are scaled using a user-selected scaling factor and calculation. * The Net Meter can display network throughput as arrows, bytes per second, and/or as a graph.

MenuMeters is a open-source benchmark of CPU, memory, hard drive disk, and wired/wireless network usage monitoring tools for MacOS X. The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras), in a way, such that they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts.

I was then able to use the High Sierra bootable installer for the clean installation. There is a set of monitoring tool that allows Mac users to monitor the computer’s CPU, memory, Disk and Network, known as MenuMeters. After posting, I found an article that suggested making a bootable installer of an earlier version of the OS (I used El Capitan) and using ONLY the Disk Utility to erase and reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended.
