My first gen MBP gets warm too.. but you can control fans and turn them up a bit.
First gen run at 1000rpm default, they put it up to 2000rpm default on Core2Duo's..
Either way, the new ones are cheaper, faster etc .. so pretty cool. I wouldn't replace my MBP for one though.. not a "replacement" as such, just an upgrade to keep up with the times.
I use a program called smcFanControl.
I don't think you can turn the speed down, if it's going quick tho.. you can turn the default up (idle speed) but if it's going quick, it's going quick for a reason.
