on this forum i saw it somewhere but i forgot to bookmark it.

very neat utility and i think the name implies that it is designed for laptops
show battery meter, cpu tem, reads smart, etc

it is not the program linked in all forum boards, it is not speedfan nor mbm

can the original poster provide name and link?

Did you want Mobile Meter? This is the program I like for simple monitoring of CPU SPEED, HD and CPU TEMP, BATTERY INFORMATION and more. I think it superior to NHC. For one, it is small and compact. You can place the monitoring readout anywhere on the screen and make it transparent. Also, you don't have to have the huge net framework loaded.

Have you tried it with shimodax's fan control utility? Does it conflict like nhc?

No, I have a nice quiet cool T42.

And I have a nice, quiet, cool, and high-performance T43. (Even before Shimodax's Fan Utility)

yes this is it

thanks. i am a loyal fan to speedfan but after reformatt it only displays the hd temp and the other temp that was there is gone

for people that uses this, how you like it?

is it based on java or something like mbm? (mbm's fottprint is quite large and slow)

No, to my knowledge, it doesn't use Java at all. Rather, the latest version seems to use the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Infrastructure The maximum I have seen it get up to is around 10MB in Memory. That's about it.

speedfan, which i believe was wrtten in c++ only takes 2316 k in my task manager right now.

i do consider most of software written on visual basic or the new ms java wanna be languge horrid

nice tool. thanks for the hint

Speedfan? Is that like Shimodax's Fan Control Utility?

And if you really want to see Microsoft's Java Wannabe Language...Try C#

I test mobile meter with Shimodax' tool. No conflict. But it can not scale the freqency. I try to change the update time of mobile meter, still no warning in shimodax' tool. Maybe it has different method of temperature monitoring.

speedfan is not realted to any of the projects posted on this forum. it is a freeware that prob millions of us uses to monitor hard drive and case temperature.

i care about hd temp the most, because at the temp of 50 celcius yor hard drive life is almost cut by half and failure occurs a lot sooner. i find my hd (see sig for spec) runs at a cool 32 c so it's all good

c# is good because it's c but personally i don't think ms did a good job to the adapter (translator to assembly code)
