Normal temp for a PIII

[gammaguns]

I have a PIII 550e o/c to 733. What is the normal operating temp range? My cpu runs at 30-32 degrees celcius under normal conditions and run up to 41 degrees celcius running games (counterstrike and red alert 2). Is this normal? Also, anyone have experience with the real world performance difference between an MSI 6309 (via apollo pro 133 chipset) and a good BX board (say an aopen ax6bc pro, asus p3bf, soyo, etc.). I was thinking to switch to a bx board, not want to know if it's worth the hassle.

Thanks
