Notebook Hardware Control Updated

Notebook Hardware Control (formerly Centrino Hardware Control) has been updated to 1.9 Beta 3 after seemingly several months of inactivity. It's stable, and the author recommends upgrading to this new version.

Unfortuantely, not all of the features appear to work on the Tecra M4 (most notably, fan control), but so far, it appears to be a very solid and welcome update.
