Just come across this - I am currently running a Pismo with the G4 550, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB 7200 rpm hard drive as my main laptop. The backside cache has been boosted to 219.7 MHz.
I've managed to get Leopard installed and working nearly perfectly, and from memory on the XLR8 MACh Speed Control app rarely see CPU temps above 49 °C or hard drive temps above about 43 °C in iStat Pro.
Currently, typing this, I have 44 °C CPU and 38 °C HDD and both my legs are getting quite warm through my jeans.
I have the standard heatsink and pipe, and rarely hear the fan kick in. I did clean the old paste off and applied some new silver stuff to the CPU before installing the G4 daughter card.
Can you tell me what you were running to make your Pismo hot + over what time period and I'll try to duplicate and report back with temps.
Cheers
Hugh
