Is this right?

Anything under 40C I would consider good. No reason to get concerned until it heads north of 50C and not worth doing something about it until it gets past 60C.

My laptop reads 80 C at idle and over 100 C on load. I have to be careful not to touch the bottom of it! I wonder if I can cook an egg on it....
hmmmm.. 
As to why it is so hot, I think I got defective RAM.

Unlikely. A fan may have died or the cooling system in the laptop is poorly designed.
