>>1) first, get Temperature Monitor

Brian - I agree.  I have used this utility for a 
long time.  My Al 125 typically operates - 
processor temperature - at 58°C, up to 63°C, by 
which temperature the (internal) fan is quite 
audible.

I should say that I am running Folding at Home, 
which means the cpu is 100% active all the time. 
Without F at H, the cpu temperature is "normally" 
(for my work) in the 40s (celcius).

>>2) best way to cool off the laptops cheaply is with a fan

Here in Saudi Arabia, we have a/c in the 
apartments, and I note the room temperature needs 
to be around 22 or 23°C (295 - 296 K if you are 
not familiar with Celcius   :-) ) otherwise the 
PB is running 'hot' (= 60+).

I used to have the Tilt & Tote for my Ti-book, 
which kept it conveniently just off the desktop. 
Now, I use my spare battery to raise the back of 
muy Al-book a few cm off the desktop, to enable 
air to circulate and aid the cooling.
