Guess it all depends on the manufacturer (or the size of the notebook) -- I've got a Dell Studio 15 with a 2GHz Core2 that loads in the 60's. What size is yours? Do you manually control your fans?

It's a 15.4". But the same heatsink/heatpipe assembly also has to cool an 8600GT. And no, I can't control the fans manually. At least no software that I've found can manage it thus far.

Ah -- a discrete video chip would make temps run a bit high. My Studio 15 has X3100 video.

However, that's what I don't understand -- my friend's Macbook has an X3100 chipset, too, and it still runs up near 90 C.
