    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ75GN, downgraded to Windows XP using the official process.

    What is a good program to monitor the CPU temp and fan speed?

    can I somehow do this in the vaia control center (can't find it) or do I need add. software? is there a free software to do that?

    thanks!

    SpeedFan might not work for your notebook.

    HWMonitor is one of the best when monitoring temps.
