I have pretty much the same system, except for the T2500 (2.0GHz) CPU and
Fedora/Vista. I have no heat issues at all. If the machine is under
warranty, I'd send it in to check out the heat.

Perhaps your heat sink became detached or worsely-coupled to a got chip.

If not under warranty, I'd take it apart and ensure the heat sink is
firmly connected with a good thermal heat transfer compound where it's
needed.
