Try out Sensor'sView. As a system monitor only, it's the best and nicest looking. Set the background on transparent for the best view. You can run Speedfan at the same time if you want.

Everest is the best, but it'll cost you.

If you have Vista as well, it has a gadget for the sidebar. Very nice!!

I still use GKrellM with lm-sensors. Gives me temperatures, voltages, fans & alarms/actions, CPU load, memory/swap status, folding progress, mail flags, disk, LAN & DSL traffic load etc. Can probably fly the space shuttle but I haven't tried that plugin :lol:
