It would be nice if include by adding a new tab for it.:
- temperature (cpu, hdd, chipsets),

- chipsets (processor, cores, lan, wifi)
- ... others?

This is being done, I attached the blueprint for it.

would be nice if we can identify all hardware elements like on Windows ie: Graphics Card : Nvidia with 256MB memory.
Now we have only name of chipset not memory of graphics card.

I'm concerned this will just make it bloated. The system monitor is just for showing the basics and should have a very small footprint.
There are other places to find out about your hardware.

Temps and fan-speed would be nice. Hardware info belongs elsewhere.

Aren't there applications to show temp & fan-speed...
Or don't they support linux?

Not in System Monitor, but in System Information.

Have any of you checked out Conky? Not sure if it's in the repos or not, but it's a really configurable applet that can show almost anything. It's used by Damn Small Linux by default. I have it running on my server.

Conky doesn't work right with Compiz, which is the default WM of Ubuntu.

I want to see processes' CPU and memory usage graphically.
..mainly firefox.

I have no idea if it is feasible or not but a disk I/O usage indication would be nice when something starts to drill your harddisk.
I hope system monitor only includes variable data and not system info such as the mentioned 'what gfx card I have'.

Why not use lm-sensors and the sensors-applet ? It can display temperatures, fan speeds etc.

as zoubidoo said, it quite possibly will make the application bloat.
How about if the option is available to switch to the "bloated" version, but only upon request......by default, the slimmed down version is always called.
I would be nice to see some real statuses, but I don't see this being needed all the time.

Ubuntu should have wigets for these kind of things

This would be great because when somebody is having a problem with installing a driver, they would be able to post their problem explaining the hardware that is in there machine. This will save a lot of time for people that answer their questions.

Please add to the System Panel the static "machine hardware name" (given by uname -m , eg i686) so one can immediately see which architecture version of Ubuntu is installed.
