Alvin, regarding your laptop. I have found that you can reduce
temperatures during idle by either running LVCool with your normal
kernels or using the most recent ACPI kernel patch from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi. LVCool is probably easier to
setup because you just have to compile and run it, although you need to
edit its Makefile to use g++ rather than gcc or GCC 3.x will fail during
linking.

LCCool source code and explanation of how it works

If you know how to compile Source RPM's you can rebuild this package
that I made.
