How to apply thermal paste?

I have read the guide on thermal paste; however, I just want to make sure I do it correct. My powerbook g4 12" has thermal paste on one chip and thermal pads on two other chips. Can the thermal paste be applied to all the chips? Or should I put thermal pads on the two that have it on them?

I don't use the pads at all. I just use a thin layer of paste. You're just trying to transfer heat.

What is the normal temperature range for the CPU on the powerbook G4?

You might want to download and install "Temperature Monitor", I think they have an archive of normal temperature ranges: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMo...
