Indeed.
There are a few applets that will show memory/cpu/swap use


And "ksysguard" happens to be one that is handy, expecially for kde
systems, and easy to get to: Default key: <ctrl><esc>


i like to have around the "system load viewer," an applet that's
available with standard KDE4 intalls. it shows system use in form of a
simple colored bar chart. you can't see exactly what uses how much, but
when something runs off with CPU or memory, it looks different. then
you can click on it, which has the same effect as <ctrl><esc>, i.e.,
ksysguard opens.

for more detailed tracking of resources it's probably better to also
consult top or htop (terminal). on occasion i find that processes that
aren't shown in ksysguard do show up in (h)top.


ksysguard probably gives you all you want, see:
