MBP Temperature Monitor??

Just got my 17" MBP and it's great!!

I am new to the laptop world, so if someone can recommend a temperature monitor (preferably free) that would be great.

It seems fine, but I'd like to be able to monitor this.

Cheers

17"MBP C2D 2.33GHz/100GB(7200rpm)/2GB, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There is a free program called CoreDuoTemp that when run sits up on the menu bar. Very simple and unintrusive.

I use Temperature Monitor since it shows all the sensors in the MBP. It's free from http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html

Personally I prefer Michael Bresnik's "Hardware Monitor" since it has temp, load, fan speed etc etc sensors. Just about everything you can think of and it doesn't require any outside 3rd party hyacks/drivers. Its a great package, wil show just about any sensor in either the menu, superimposed on the display or in a wondow and literally monitors just about everything.
Great program!

Peter
