What is a good goal for keeping my tempeture at for CPU and MOBO??

SYSTEM SPECS:

ASUS P4C800-E DELUXE
2 X 512MB MUSHKIN PC3700
P4 2.8 GHZ 800FSB
 
my 2.8C idles around 33-34C and under load is 48C (Prime 95). Mobo temps are a constant 25C

EDIT: taken from sticky, credit goes to Cluster

<30*C - Ideal overclocking temperatures

30-40*C - Good temperatures. Will allow for some overclocking

40-50*C - An alright temp for a Load Temp. Doesn't leave much room for overclocking. Should still remain stable.

50-60*C - A touchy area. Your computer may be stable, but don't overclock.

>60*C - Get some better cooling or lower your overclock.
 
Thank you for that info - that really explains alot - I am really new at this so this is the deal - I am waiting for my Asus mobo to be sent back from newegg (it was doa) but in the meantime I have overclocked my old system (gigabyte 7vaxp w/ amd barton 2800+) when overclocked from 2.08 to 2.35 my temp gets up to 55 - 60 c when running a heavy load or stability test on cpu. What I am wondering is (what temp is the danger zone?)
 
well danger zone according to who? AMD says i think it cant pass 90C cuz thats dangerous but right now if your MAXING on load 55-60 try not to go higher.. and i would recommend better air cooling
