[G4] Re: TemperatureMonitor

[Tony Gamble]

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have a MDD 1.25.  I took a closer 
look at the program today (I've never really paid much attention to 
it... it was just a random download one night) and the information it 
gives me is for the system board, so it may not even be referring to 
the CPU itself.

  It's not a program I've ever used for diagnostics, certainly.  I had 
just remembered it was in my Utilities folder when the question had 
been put to the list.
