I seem to remember Kde has it's own system monitor,have you tried that already?.
A couple of other possibilities are gkrellm or conky:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/conky

It does (ksysguard), it is flexible and can do quite a lot, but it needs some setting up to do it (mind you, many other possibilities need more setting up). So, is the problem that you didn't look at it or did you look at it and assume that it can only do what it is configured to do by default?

ksysguard can do more than it's configured to do by default, however it doesn't do even a 10% of what either conky or gkrellm can do. So it all comes down to what exactly do you need. If ksysguard doesn't suffice for you then you are bound to use a non-kde solution for monitoring.

In kde4 you can also use plasmoids, I have no idea about these, I just dislike the whole concept of karamba/desklets/plasmoids for monitoring purposes.

In kde 3.x you also had ksensors. I have no idea if this little tool has been ported to kde4.
