[TriLUG] cpu overheat

[Isaac Blach]

I am a highschool senior using a pentium 4 1.3 ghz computer.  When i try 
to get my computer to do heavy computational tasks like some java 
programs for class the cpu overheats.  I know this because the cpu heat 
sync is verry hot and is usually much cooler after normal operation.  Is 
there any way to
A. moniter the cpu tempature with redhat linux 9
B. prevent the cpu from getting so hot in the first place
C. get a fan speed controll program for my computer
