I don't know what "normal" temperature is, but chips usually have an auto-shutdown mechanism if it gets too hot to operate safely. I have a Wallstreet 233 (cacheless) with 192 MB RAM, and an upgraded hard disk and processor (466 w/ 1MB@233). I think the previous owner messed up some of the thermal paste that was on there (among countless other things), so mine probably runs on the hot side. Gauge PRO typically reports a temperature of 62-65C, though that's with it propped up on books on my desk for circulation. I've seen it go as high as 80, perhaps even higher. Regardless, I still have stability problems that I think are heat-related (as I was typing this post up, the machine locked up--good thing Entourage saved my message.)
