I have the g4 733 digital audio (the one with the 1 mb backside cache, not like the QS that doesn't have it.) I want to be able to tell the tempreture inside my computer. I wish to know the temp. of the CPU and Vedio Card.

Is their a thermo probe made specificaly for macintosh, so the color scheme is the same? Or would I be able to get a one that would fit in the slot underneith the superdrive?

Not that it would be accurate, anyway. All of those utilities that check the chip's built-in temperature register are limited by the construction of the chip. That register is accurate only to +/- 12 degrees C. Not good enough for any real analysis, certainly.
