What is your avg temperature on your T43p or T42p?

I just thought I'd take a little poll to get a general idea on average use temps. I defined average use such as web browsing, maybe running winamp in the background, and using an office app. Obviously this is slightly subjective, but I'm just interested in average non-intensive tasks.

I monitor temps with Mobile Meter, a very small, low-resource using temp-monitoring app. My temps are 39 and 40 degrees celsius, toggling between the two. I have undervolted my 1.86 PM and have it running on adaptive, so it uses more speed only when required. I am quite pleased with my temps, and as a result my fan (which is always on) is barely audible.

Please feel free to comment on anything related...

Let's run with this same setup, except adding in the T43p & T42p models.

without undervolting at full speed and wireless on, i run 50 -52 doing normal tasks. i think 2ghz+ chips generate much more heat than 1.8 and below processors, one of the drawbacks of the faster centrinos

I wish they'd offer the T43p with more CPU options. Dropping the CPU down from 2.13->2.0 or even to 1.86 wouldn't cause that big of a performance hit, yet it would probably do wonders for battery life & heat.

Not to mention the cost savings too; going down to just a 2.0ghz shaves about $300 off, and to 1.86 about $450.
