    Reliable hardware monitor?

    I'm remembering some of the pains of Windows. Software doesn't "just work". I have tried every single Dashboard Gadget and nothing seems to be worth their price (free). I don't know if it's the fact that the Phenom X6 isn't supported for these gadgets, yet. Or if my drivers aren't installed...

    He has a Dell 5150. He claims to have an "nVidia 9250" (no clue if that's an actual model...I remember an ATi Radeon 9250 :)) He wants to upgrade to the Core 2 processor. I think he'd be better off spending that money on a graphics card and/or memory than the processor alone. Am I...
