So Im running Vista Ultimate x86 on my new MBP, and just tried gaming. About a minute into the game (still in menu screen) the fans kick in probably full speed. I felt the case (back towards the screen where the air vents are) and damn that is hot.

Is this normal? I feel like running this I'm gonna come across some problems or something, but I mean I donno.

Yes. It's normal. When the fans don't crank up, that's when you should be concerned.
