    Hot is different to everyone, give us a number so we can tell you if it's a problem or not.

    Are you running anything else? Those temps are not bad.

    Coming from a PC background, I'm going to have to get used to these "load" temps when I get around to buying a macbook pro.

    Hmm that is high for just downloading. Web browsing/downloading in win7/OS X mines only in the 50's. Might be a problem with 64 and bootcamp.

    eh mine are about the same in vista on boot camp, though i have (had, as of yesterday) the 32 bit version. nothing to worry about here.

    PS: it took me about 3 months to figure out how to install xp through boot camp without getting retarded error messages. after trying two or three times (for hours on end) before, i finally got it yesterday. wow, apple, why did you have to make it so friggin complicated!
