    Hi!

    I'm getting a thinkpad T61p today... :D I'd like to keep track of temperatures while in XP... I'd like to keep an eye on the processor and motherboard, even HD and graphics card would be great! the more the better...

    What's the best software you can install seperately to do this? I am used to asus probe on my desktop and i'd like something like that which uses minimum resources, while just giving me the info i want...

    Thanks!!

    One popular and free program is Notebook Hardware Control, which places some pretty temperature-over-time graphs (and others, such as CPU load) on your desktop. Get it here.

    NOTE: Hasn't been updated in a while, but it definitely works in XP.
