Quick questions. Does anyone know at about what temp the fan on the PB12-inch Rev B should turn on? Mine starts at 52 celcius. Also when I play games (Tiger Woods 2003) my temp goes right up to 60-62 celcius. Is this OK for the PB as it feels very hot at the left palm rest area? Up to what temp can the PB go up to before turning itself off?

Thanks for the help, I have just converted over to MAC and think the PB is the best notebook I have bought in 10 years.

My fan turns on around 46C. I've hit low 60s before doing various intensive things like ripping a lot of CDs, using a lot of graphic apps, etc.
