Another handy program....Hardware Monitor

There are others, like Speedfan, but this one, CPUID Hardware Monitor shows the most information in an easy-to-read form. It also is reasonably accurate, if any of these gadgets really are, considering that they're all getting their information from 20-cent detectors in the hardware inside the box. As a Microsoft expert said about that, if we want accuracy of better than within ten degrees, for example within one degree, the devices would cost more than your whole computer. He may have been exaggerating a little, but we get his point - these are only approximate, so don't get too hung up on them. And you'll notice among my icons on the side, our old friend Dr. Watson has returned from wherever, and he's still alive and well in Windows 7, believe it or not. Who'd-a-thunk-it? Gee! all the way from Windows 95/98SE.
