My Gateway Solo PRO 9300 running Windows Me seems to run much hotter than any other laptop I've ever owned. Even when idle, the bottom feels unusually hot and when gaming it feels too hot to even touch. The hot area is where the CPU is, so I'm begging to think it might need new thermal paste. Is the extreme heat normal for a Pentium III or should I be very concerned and get some new thermal paste? The Pentium III is clocked at 600 MHz and I'm assuming it's a Coppermine PIII since my laptop is from mid-2000.
