[G4] Re: TemperatureMonitor

[Ron Steinke]

Tony didn't say that his G4 was a 1GHZ native machine. My G4 is a 
Gigabit Ethernet model with an upgrade 1GHz processor, but it never had 
a temperature sensor in it. If Tony has put an upgraded processor in an 
older G4, he cannot expect that there would be any temperature sensors 
built into the case.

It would be nice to see a list of the G4 machines that DO have 
temperature sensors rather than be told that Apple didn't put sensors 
in "a good portion of the 1GHz models... They were deemed to 
inaccurate....". Does such a list exist, or does someone have to put it 
together for posting?

If a true temperature monitor/indicator is the subject of discussion, 
that is a horse of a different color. The installation of sensors and 
temperature control software was to reduce a heat problem, not to 
provide internal temperature readings like a cooking thermometer. I 
haven't heard of anything that will give a real-time readout of 
temperatures within the machine case. Maybe there is something in the 
Martha Stewart cooking hardware department?

They were deemed to inaccurate to be of any help.

Hope that clears things up,
