Hi,

Download MobileMeter and post the temps. It is quite likely that overheating is your issue since that is a Prescott P4, which are famous for being very hot, and in that case, this would be a good product.

The fans blow in. This is standard since most laptops have fans that blow out on the side, but don't have anything that sucks in.

I use this laptop with my Acer Aspire (see my system), which came overheating right out of the box. Now, it is about as cool as a well cooled desktop.
