Does anybody know of any "Hardware Monitor" software (Win2000)
for motherboard with I845AD chipset? I wanna know CPU (Cel1700)
temperature under full load. I've searched MB manufactures'
sites and have found nothing for Win2000. The bloody Celeron1700
creature dissipates too much power when converting big (300Mb)
.wav files to .mp3.

If I had known Cel1700 was made of 0.18 micron and held only 128K
cache, I'd better chose Celeron1400 - 0.13 micron and 256 cache for
home use.
Heck with DDR memory; I suspect overall app speed would be pretty
close for both CPUs.
I know Some Like Hot, but I feel more comfortable with cool things.

Thank you.
Mike.

Can't use AMD - have had (Is it grammatically correct?) bad
experience with motherboards based on non-Intel chipsets.
