    Desktop CPU/Fan software monitor: need recommendation

    I remember using SpeedFan 1-2yrs ago on this Dimension (build date Oct 2002) and I don't think I was thrilled w/ it at the time. Anyway I just installed SpeedFan v4.32 and it does not recognize my Intel CPU or Seagate Drive or any fans. It only recognizes my 5yr old slave WD drive (43C btw)...

    Desktop CPU/Fan software monitor: need recommendation

    I've used I8kfanGUI in the past on a 600m w/ satisfaction. Now I need to monitor CPU & Fan temperature and speeds on a desktop: Dimension 4550 (P4/2.53Ghz). What is a recommended free/shareware desktop cpu&fan monitor similar or equivalent to what I8kfanGUI provides? :confused:

    Dell 2005FPW for $389.... lowest this quarter.

    This may be OT, but I'm wondering why it seems that the 2005fp is 99% of the time cheaper than the 2001fp :confused: If someone can explain why I'd appreciate it, tx. Btw I've had my 2001fp since Dec'03 and am debating whether to upgrade to 2005fp or 2405fp.

    HOT! 10¢ Insertion Fee on eBay

    Especially for auctions of open value or reserve price $0.01 - $24.99, I'm not sure what the major hoopla is with the 1day 10cent insertion fee... All things being equal for the above range, a bare bones auction (no ebay options e.g. border, highlight, mult. pix, etc) results in savings of...

    Hot? Santa Cruz + Altec Lansing 251 5.1 Speakers $99

    I could not find this combo bundle online; is it B&M only? Also, how does the Altec 251's compare to the Logitech Z540 (weeks ago this combo w/ SCTB was $80 instant/no rebate) with respect to music sound quality? BTW, I've heard the Altec 641's; and they're sweet (but double the 251 cost)! TIA :)
