Measuring temps - GF4 ti4200

Ok, so even on my moderately old Abit KT7A motherboard has provisions for cpu and case temperature. What I've been wondering is how can I monitor my video card temp? Is there any way to do it with software or will I need to get a physical temp probe and stick it on there?
I'm looking at swapping the mini fan that's on it for the Zalman NB cooler, maybe the large version. Want to be able to monitor temps to see if that will be enough, or if I'll need to put a low voltage L1A blowing across it.
This is my main gaming system, and it can spend many, many hours playing EverQuest. Especially on the weekends. Plenty of load time for it to heat up (nicely?).
