Peter,
I'm no expert, but I have a Dell Latitude D620 duel core T2400@ 1.83GHz 
processor w/ 1.99GB RAM, 60GB Hard drive. It's about 2 years old and I've 
used other laptops that seem to get pretty warm...my Dell does not, infact I 
barely hear a fan running where as, others "compaq for one, seem to have 
very noticable fans and blow very warm air. My dell surprisingly barely gets 
warm. with my experience using other brands I expected it to do the same, 
but I think it's all relative to the type processor.
Gregg
