Okay, that can't be good...

Nor do I, without measuring the temp of your video card. Usually though, yes this isn't really a good thing. Best thing for you to do is buy a cooling fan designed to sit in a slot next to your video card to replace it, but that might not even be needed if it's an old card with good ventilation that still operates just fine. If you notice slowdown in terms of video processing, this is the most likely cause. Or, you may just want to replace the video card anyway.

It's original to my computer, which means that it's a five year (and nearly two month) old 32MB GeForce2 GTS. :)

Getting a new one... like with other things, I don't want to spend much money on a computer I plan on replacing in under six months (and probably less)... I did get a new DVD drive (+burner) this summer, but that was pretty cheap and I managed to break my old DVD drive (no burner), so I needed it...

And even if I wanted to, I only have 4x AGP and a 250 watt power supply (I believe), so my options would be limited...

Try to put some oil in it, there should be a small hole in the center of the fan just under the label. If that doesn't work...well, there's probably not a whole lot you can do about it.

I'd try that, if I had oil... :)

... a compressed air canister would be nice to have too, every time I open my computer I notice how much dust is in there and you can't get it all out without one...
