    I prefer the regular hwmonitor. 1 file (+1 .ini after using), nothing running in the background, no used filespace, works great on any OS with any hardware, unlike this gadget. I guess if you want hwmonitor to be "prettier" and you're using vista than this is for you, if you don't mind the extra cpu/memory usage.

    Reminds me of the abbreviation..
    K.I.S.S.

    I used to use just the regular one too, but with 4 gigs of ram and now 820 gigs of HD space it is time to let the system have some fun.

    please note it requires you to run HWMonitor in the background constantly, otherwise it will not function correctly.

    Sorry I can't. This developer has apparently made registration his price of the software. Personally I think it is a small price to pay but maybe it is somewhere else although I did not see it available in the MS gallery............
