65C would be about right, still safe for the CPU but just touching the zone where problems behgin to arise (BSOD and freezing)
You must live in a warm climate? 56C is a few degrees higher than most XP1.6+ CPU's run at but as I said a perfectly safe and stable temp just try to keep it under that 60C mark if you can.

56C is not hot for an Athlon - they can run continuously for long times at 60C with no problems. It's all about the room temps & the heatsink / fans. For an XP1600+, probably the Palomino core which is pretty darn hot to begin with (the 1600+ may even run hotter than the 2500+, seriously) - plus AMD had pretty lousy retail heatsink / fans back then so those temps do sound quite normal.
yeah, i checked on the amd website, it took me a while to find the numbers, but for conversiaion, the cpu's get colder as the chipset evloved. from the thunderbird to the barton. the thunderbird being the hottest. being able to run something near 70c. i think the barton was about 55c - 60c
mine is the Palimino. It's my server, so when it started to beep i was pretty freaked

Not quite that much spread in critical temps.
Socket A's (Duron/Athlon's ALL) just 15C differance, from 80 to 95C.
Note* Critical!! beyond which the CPU is toast!
Also Note* NO socket "A" CPU will actual run anywhere near these temps, the typical temp for flakey unstable behaviour starting in the mid 60's C.
I found this rough CPU temp guide below.
