    I was just wondering if anyone's found some software that can monitor the CPU temperature of the MX7515. I've tried MobileMeter but the temperature options are all greyed out. I had similar results with another program I tried that I can't remember the name of. Has anyone had any luck with this?

    they might be greyed out because the machine might not have a sensor or the drivers you are using dont make it available for other programs to monitor. Download the latest CPU driver from gateway's site. Once i did that it enabled some of my programs to monitor hdd temp, etc that it didnt previously allow.

    My 7426 doesn't monitor the CPU temperature, I assume that the newer ones won't either.
    By the way, nice signature Uscooper :)

    Hmm I think its all about how its built. Download a program such as PCWizard that can be found on the same site as CPU-Z (google it). It tells you all about your machine and everything. See if gateway has another driver hellmans- an updated one for your cpu. Thanks- I like my sig too. I have the same one on the AMD forums but had to change it because it was too big.. I changed it to this:

    Cool.
    What are the "P" and the "ER" from? They look somewhat familiar, but I can't put my finger on them...

    Yeah it basically summarizes what you see under system information in a better way, and allows you to do some benchmarks.
