I have an early 2008 white Macbook 2.4 GHz with 4GB of ram (everything else is stock)

I just recently installed smcFanControl and my macbook is at about 60 celcius when im browsing on firefox and listening to itunes.. just wanted to make sure this is normal!

Don't worry about it unless the computer reaches or goes over 90 degrees C. Mine is at 53 right now and stays around the mid 60s on average. Tops ranges the whole 80 degree C gammet.
