    D610: Seems to be running HOT... Is this normal?

    So I recently purchased a D610 with the 1.86GHz processor, X300 video card, 5400RPM 40GB HD, and SXGA monitor... So far, I'm happy with my purchase, BUT whenever I play a particular game (Age of Mythology), a lot of heat is generated in the back of the computer. Should I expect this, and should I be concerned?

    I noticed that in general, the computer seems to run a bit hotter than my HP nc6000 (work laptop), which has the older dothan pentium m chipset... But how hot is too hot?

    THanks!
