    i have tried these both on my "desktop" and they wont show anything but the HDD speed.

    they wont show my 5200 fx gfx, P4 3.00ghz processor, ram, voltage or anything else.
    is it as my components are too old or am i doing something wrong?
    i have a roughly 4 year old dell dimension 4600.

    this is not my m1530, i dont know about that yet, hasent come , dell are takeing their time :(

    I just tried HWmonitor on my Dell 8400 desktop, which is about 4 years old.
    All it showed was the hard drive temperature, same as yours.
    I think these older desktops just don't have the temperature sensors.
