I dont know if with the intro of the Intels, Apple did away with the temp sensors, as no widgets or software seems to be able to tell me a temp. Also, I haven't found a widget that works that can tell me the speed of the fans in my core duo

This will show only the harddisk temperature on an iMac CD...
I'm-a trying to wonder, wonder, wonder why you, wonder, wonder why you act so.

The CPU and hard drives still have temp sensors (they're built-in to both)... but I guess no one has an app that can pull up the values yet.

With every new CPU or architecture used, the apps that read out temperature break. This has been the case since Macs became able to measure their temperature at all.

I am confident that this will be fixed soon.

It would be nice to see something like Notebook Hardware Control (formerly Centrino Hardware Control) ported to or developed for OSX.
Clockrates (CPU and GPU), temperatures (CPU and HDD), voltages, fan control, SMART values, etc all in one place.

Again, since all that already existed for OS X for PPC Macs (all using Apple-approved APIs, nothing hacked or reverse-engineered), it's almost guaranteed that they will be updated for the Intel Macs.
