Zulu.Walker Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I just gotta ask what you have on your bar. I'm on the i965 chipset, and your C2D Cubed is an i945 chipset right? I want to have a little bit of system monitoring, Apple hardware monitoring doesn't work OOB for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
