50C for a prescott at idle is low (I've seen 55), while 64 isn't that high either (70-80 is the max). Dilbert's P4 doesn't get as hot because it's not a prescott... My own 2.6 Northwood (HT, 512kb cache, C version) is 33C at idle, and tops around 45C. (using zalman cooler. stock cooler produced 54C at full load)

The heat *might* be a problem, but it shouldn't be. Getting a different CPU fan might be a good option, if only because the prescott fan is LOUD.
