My laptop also has 1gb of ram, but I would be surprised if that has
anything to do with how much heat is generated. The heat on my machine
is coming from the processor.
Is there a way to get real-time temp readings in linux? It would be
interesting to monitor the temp readings while doing processor intensive
things.

Now its only needed to figure out: Is it the driver, or the hardware?
Anyone with same HW and identical config can try and reproduce?
Greetings:
A similar thing has happened to me on several occasions. I have an HP
Pavilion, model ze5470 US laptop, with a 2.66 GHz P4. It happens when
processor usage is high for an extended period, like when tarring a
large file structure. I noticed that this occurred after I upgraded
the memory to 1 GB. Perhaps the larger memory cards generate more heat.
