I personally like MBM because you can run everything in the system tray...your CPU temp, System temp, etc...and you can customize to show your fan speeds and cpu usage as tooltip - meaning when you place your mouse over the MBM display in system tray...the yellow tip that shows up will display that...let me know what you guys prefer...
They both run as accurate as each other...

MBM is probably better than ASUS Probe. I just purchased a Asus P4S533 motherboard which has a SIS 645DX chipset. MBM doesn't support it.

Here's what the programmer of MBM sent me,\

hi Richard

sorry to say but this is an issue with all Sis chipset boards, I need help from Asus and/or SiS but am not getting any from either I am
afraid.

those datasheets I did collect seem to be faulty as many testers for this board have confirmed.... so I am pretty sorry to say that at
this moment in time it looks very unlikly that that chipset will ever be supported.... unless Asus / Sis decide to help me out here........


Regards, Alex

I hope you have a different chipset than me.

I like MBM since Probe never goes below 40C for my p4b266. Anyone know if that problem was fixed yet?

I have used both, and I know that most seem to prefer MBM, but I still have always liked Asus Probe better. I like the easy setup, the graphs, and the DMI Explorer.

I can say from all hardware monitor that comes on the box from the manufacture, Asus Probe is the best.
On third party software MBM and SpeedFan are good also.
