Widget Watch: iStat pro

I wholeheartedly agree with Craig: there is really nothing that can beat iPulse. it's compact, complete and a beautiful information graphics showcase.

My only complaint with istat is that it doesnt show multiple CPUs, it just takes an average I'm assuming.

Remember, Dashboard is always better with Dashboard Quickstart. Another widget I like a lot is the dashboard terminal.

I've tried them all and nothing makes me happier than iPulse.

My Windows friends have always been very impressed by Dashboard. VERY. But they always ask So what else can you use it for? I think this is one of those Widgets that fits well into that What else can be done with it type of catagory.

The temperature and fans sections for iStat pro do not work on Intel Macs.

I'll stick to using miniStat2. To me is more smplistic and easy to understand. Offers all the info I'm concerned about and is skinable :)

I use this widget, though I really prefer to use Activity Monitor for cpu monitoring, with the added bonus of having the seperate monitor and changable dock monitor for different information. This widget is just a nice follow-up for the trips to dashboard for notes or weather checks/gmail checks.

Temperature and fans support doesn't work on my MBP, unfortunately.

Thorn, the temperatures don't work in iStat nano. Now, that doesn't mean iStat pro can't do it, but I'm just kinda guessing it doesn't work.
