Detailed article on how to add a CPU temperature sensor to the P2B: 3dhardware.net "The Asus P2B by itself cannot monitor CPU temperature - only motherboard temperature, fan speeds, and voltages. It uses the Winbond W83781D which does in fact support three external temperature measurements. This is not your standard National Semiconductor LM75/LM78 that is the primary monitoring system found on most motherboards today. Since the Winbond chip is not compatible with most monitoring programs that are designed for the LM75/LM78 chips, Asus includes their own Probe utility that is quite good. However, some people have strayed away from the Asus P2B because it could not monitor CPU temperature...." =================== The past month I've been reviewing motherboards and will probably get the P2B-L with 10/100Mbps ethernet on board (this should free up a PCI slot.) This board has (4)DIMM slots rather than (3) as on the P2B (I will start with one sitck of 128MB Ram). (I sent email to Tomshardware that the P2B review has a typo - bulleted items show the board has (4) DIMM slots, but mentions (3) slots further down in text) I plan to use 400MHz PII and skip overclocking, so lack of softmenu setup isn't important.
