cpu cooling

Hey!

Ok, so heres the problem:

My computer started freezing pretty bad a while ago and I decided to check the CPU temperature from BIOS. I got a 2.0Ghz P4 (not over-clocked), with standard heatsink/cooler and its running very high temperatures. Even up to 90 degrees celsius (194 F).

Even as new (a year and a half ago) the CPU was running something like 70 degrees celsius (158 F) after playing THPS 3 for while. I dont have a case fan but it shouldnt make this kind of diffrence? Now I'm thinking about getting a decent fan for the case (hell, maybe even two while I'm at it) and a good, quiet CPU heatsink/cooler (like one of these http://www.aerocool.com.tw/aerocool-...oler/ht101.htm).

But will this make a real diffrence to get it running normal temps like 45 celsius (a little over 100F)?
