http://www.arcwebserv.com/jumpsite/killerutils2.html Quite a lot of free utilities, among them Motherboard Monitor that does everything you need, and Waterfall Pro which _apparently_ can reduce the temp of your CPU. As to the configuration, it looks okay on paper. Although I'm told that Radeons have less than optimal drivers, so I'd take an nVidia. The price is quite high, though. A comparable configuration costs something like 650 Euros here in Zagreb. That's with 256 MB RAM and a 17" monitor, true, but even adding 256 MB more and taking a 19", it would cost something like 850 euros. *And* that's one of the most expensive shops. I suggest you check around a little more. I don't believe that Italy is that expensive.
