I had Dell Latitude CPx H500GT and the same problem (I think there is no
problem). When I work on my notebook (web browser, IM, newsreader)
temperature was 50-63 and everything was OK. Only fans turn on.

Now I have IBM Thinkpad and the same temperature. I think You shouldn't
worry about it. It's a typical temperature for this DELLs.
