Hi James,
  These readings are on a Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ running Folding @ Home.
Temp 2 is the CPU temp here. I don't know what is normal for a dual
core, but 103C seems very high, is that under load at all?  May be able
to find some info here

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for.
