I at first downloaded i nice free little piece of software that shows the core temperatures (CoreTemp), showing temps up to 80°C-ish on an AMD Athlon (= deadly in the long run).

CoreTemp is one of those 'must have' utilties.

One by-product of notebooks running too hot is that the CPU's clock rate automatically gets reduced, in an attempt to "cool it". It then starts to look as if any activity (often graphics; just having some Flash or animated .gif's in a website) is overloading the machine.

Good luck!

This is a very good point....

But why do you have 18GB of page file usage? Some one eating memory in you computer?
