Did you already tried this way? Maybe it could help... Just need to make sure the code is correct and also the syntax..

It will definitely slow down your computer as you are basically using 2 types of OS. But not to the extent of total non usable. How much RAM do you have? 4GB should be enough to run Parralel or VMWare.

You can try and run Parralel and see if it is really that lagging. If it is then you could opt for RAM upgrading. Get another 2GB RAM and install it and it should be enough. =)

Most people are using geektool.. Its like the windows rainmeter... I didnt really go play with it but it should be simple.. Just follow some guides that can be found in the internet...

I know iStat can display your CPU temp and other system monitoring gauge... But you have to pay for it..

Maybe you could try to find other widgets instead of using geektool? TRy looking at the below link

http://www.pure-mac.com/widgets.html


Added on May 22, 2010, 5:34 pmTry ministat


Added on May 22, 2010, 5:37 pmOops the link for ministat is gone... Maybe could search other widgets that you can put on your desktop to display the temperature

Go try garage sales, there are many ppl selling games... I think you are posting in the wrong thread.. This thread is for showing off your MacOSX desktop only...

Which set of icons that you use for your dock icons? Is it self made? Or could be downloaded?

In the geektool setting properties you can set the refresh time... Set it to 1 second so it will try to refresh it every second
