My 64 3200+ is running currently at 42C idle. I've gotten temps up to 55C and beyond before though. For instance, when my air conditioning broke a month back, and the house temperature upstairs (where I am) was around 80F, my cpu temp jumped to 62C.

Nothing to be worried about, 55C may seem extreemly hot, but it's not going to be a detrimental effect on your preformance.

Tips on getting it lower:

Copper Heatsink, SLK/TT
Move the case closer to an air conditioning vent.
Remove clutter inside the case. (Zip ties work wonders).

I'm sure there's more, but I don't want to take all the answers away.
