[Thinkpad] T20 CPU temp

[Shingo Tamaru]

Hi,
This is really a slow response, but I found the answer for Art's
question quite recently.

I also upgraded the CPU in my T20 to 1GHz P3, and have been
looking for a utility to measure the CPU temperature. I tried
SiSoftware Sandra and SpeedFan, but they were found not to
work with T20.
(Sandra cannot read the CPU temperature on many notebooks
due to architecture difference with desktops.)

I recently found a free utility which shows the CPU temperature,
CPU clock, battery charge rate and HDD temperature, named
'MobileMeter'.

Yes, this is Japanese, sorry if you cannot read this page.
The author says that this program is designed only for Japanese
environment and no guarantee for other lauguages. However,
I tried this program in English WinXP and it worked just fine.
Since this program is just a small exe file with no registry use,
this should do no harm to your system even if it doesn't work.
So why don't you try the zip file available from this URL?

(One caution: This program requires administrator prevaledge
when launching.) If it works, you got a handy tool. If not,
just delete it.

Hope it works for you too.
