Imho the main problem isn't the CPU but the GPU, I have an Asus F3jP with an Ati mobility x1700,
I run a 9.04 ubuntu, and i undestand my pc become hot cause my GPU work always at full frequency!
With old Ati driver I can set the frequency but now with this open driver I can't so my videocard work always at 452/351 MHz.

Scaling GPU\MEM with ATI DRIVER
1: 128/135 MHz [low voltage]
2: 392/252 MHz
* 3: 452/351 MHz [default state]

Please help! Ati mobility need powerset!
