    I got some software last night called Speedfan, and I think it made changes to my computer, so I uninstalled it..I am not sure what it did, but I was downloading something and the download dissapeared..maybe a coincidence..but regardless, speedfan was not optimal.

    It also was saying that my cores were 45 C each. Is that an ideal temp?

    Anyway, I have Vista Premium and would love to be able to monitor my temps.

    Sorry, my notebook brand is Toshiba. And are these freebies?

    Also, I was wondering the ideal temp..I have a dual core Satellite.

    I downloaded the intel but I can never find it to make it run..lol

    RMClock, you can use it to check core temperatures and undervolt C2Ds if you wish to do so.
