lm_sensors help

Hi all,
I've recently configured lm_sensors on my system in hopes that I may 
ultimately resolve some hardware issues I've been having (random 
segfaults during large compiles and, most recently, as system lock up).

I'm relatively clueless when it comes to interpretting what lm_sensors 
is telling me, so I'm hioping one of the on-list guru's can help 
enlighten me.

What is the meaning of the following output from the 'sensors' command?

$ sensors

Does any of this mean anything to anyone?

Thanks,
