Widget Watch: miniStat2 v1.81 adds Intel Mac temp, more

by David Chartier May 30th 2006 at 3:00PM

While I'm still a bigger fan of the iStat pro widget, miniStat2 definitely wins points for compactness, creativity and for quickly incorporating a monitor for Intel Mac temperatures. Other updates include the ability to change the currently monitored network interface right from Network tab of the widget, the storage tab only displaying physical hard drives (as opposed to including .DMG files and the like) as well as a Spanish localization.

A demo of miniStat 2 is available from ShockWidgets, and a license will cost $5.

I just noticed that you apparently have to install a small software library (that I believe comes with CoreDuoTemp) in order for this to properly check your Intel Mac's temp. Check their site for more information.

It doesn't work on my MacBook Pro... what should I do to be able to read the processor's temperature?
