What's the best way to cool off my laptop?

I always thought I had a lot of RAM... Is 4GBs a lot?

4GB is all you need, yeah. You may have RAM that just runs really hot, though. Do you know where the ram is on your laptop? Mine is right under the keyboard. If you know, check the area around the RAM when your computer's running hot and see if that's the source.

I checked, and the RAM didn't seem to be the hottest.
I'm not sure what it was, but the small icon that was there, and the size and shape of the panel lead me to believe it was the hard drive.

Hard drives don't get very hot at all, so that doesn't seem quite right. The processor or video card could be near the hard drive though, I suppose.

You think you could tell me your computer make/model and specify where on the computer it's getting hot? I could look around to see what it is.

It's an HP G60.
Most of the heat seems to be coming from right where the RAM panel and the hard drive panel meet.

Ok,it's likely radiating off the RAM but it could be the video card too. Problem is that I can't get any views of the HP G60 from the bottom so I can't really tell. Furthermore, it seems I can't even get an internal design diagram of it. Hmmm, it was much easier with my Dell. =/

Anyways, your best bet is to simply keep the laptop slightly levitated while in use.

Couldn't the CPU also be a likely cause?

CPU certainly contributes but with the way computers are designed these days they really aren't worked that hard unless you have low RAM or are using very intensive processes.
