@Ahaus: CPU temp and CPU load are two totally different beasts. CPU load is a value inside the registry: you just read it out.
Temperature you can only get my talking to the SMB bus via port I/O. For this you need a driver. Then there are a LOT of different chips out there, any of them uses a different way to report data and they´re constantly changing. in short: it´s a shitload of work and would make label at least 1MB in size (just look at MBM). For a look at the complexity of getting temperatures, check the lmsensor homepagehttp://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78
