Just keep an eye on your temps. Most laptops are not designed to be run @ 100% all the time.
I tried running it on my Laptop, but when temps hit and stayed @ 78°C, I took it off.

Laptop CPUs are more heat tolerant though... I believe mobile C2D are rated for 100°C

Yea, they run hotter by design, but I was just not that comfortable running that hot all the time.
The Athlon XP-M in my laptop has a max temp of 100°C also.

Yeah I used graphical on mine. Watch it though, because I had a celeron in my sister's laptop and it loaded at 88c when folding.

The thermal specification on that cpu is 100c. I would say keep it under 85c if you run it 24/7.

keep a book under the back side to keep it cooler
