I've been playing the beta in a 2009 MBP for a couple of weeks now and everything looks pretty smooth.

Question about heat: My wife's MBP (2011) runs what seems to be dangerously hot doing even basic web video and she's worried that D3 will melt it entirely.

It can't. All modern chips have thermal protection. It'll just throttle down if it gets too hot.

Are the fans working alright? I get both of them running at 6k RPM when playing any game (or watching full screen Flash/Silverlight videos) but there's nothing that makes me thing it's unsafe.
