Any recommendations for a program that will retrieve hardware monitor
data from a BIOS and display it in Windows XP?

Yahoo! Widgets -- Sys Monitor -- Multiple Processor Monitor ---
Weather -- Calendar -- RSS News Stand --- ImageView ---
WebImages --- and 10,000 others.

More every day. Be careful, they do use up resources. Their is some that
will even display cpu temperature and fan rotation if you want that.

If you don't like Yahoo! their is SysMetrix, DesktopX Objects from
WindowBlinds, and more.

Speedfan, SIW, CPUZ. Depending on your motherboard, you will
likely need more than one of these to correctly read all of the sensors
etc.
I generally install all 3, but even then sometimes have to install others,
such as Everest or those which other posters mentioned.

Why not do it the easy way and just install Asus's "Probe II"? It's included
on your motherboard's
Installation CD.

That program seems to give wrong temparatures. Better use Speedfan or
similar programs.

Agreed - AsusProbe is unstable and even reads the wrong sensors on
some ASUS motherboards!
