Product Description:

Hardware Monitor Widget Edition is the Dashboard version of its "bigger brother" Hardware Monitor. You need a working registered copy of Hardware Monitor in order to fully use this widget. The applications are designed to give you access to all sensor readings Mac OS X uses to monitor and cool your computer.

The widget allows you to select two of your computer's sensors which should be displayed via Dashboard. The sensor readouts are displayed in a compact panel.

Unlike other widgets, Hardware Monitor is capable of processing the hardware calibration data Apple stores individually into each G5-based computer. So it displays the exact readings Mac OS X internally uses for cooling control, not just an "educated guess".

For detailed technical information about sensor discovery please see the developer's site.

What's new in this version:

The readings of non-working GPU-load sensors provided by some of Apple's graphics drivers for Leopard are now correctly suppressed by the widget. Instead of displaying a constant zero value, the sensor will be removed entirely.
Support for monitoring the frequency of Intel processors based on 45 nm technology ("Penryn") has been withdrawn. The sensor might not reflect the true performance mode under all operating conditions.

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
