Temps will depend on what case your using, how many fans you have, what CPU you are using, how many graphics cards and what graphics cards you have, what cooler you have, what thermal grease your using, if anything is overlooked and what your ambient temperature is. So it is very difficult to tell you what temperature you should be running at. Saying that a drop of 6 degrees c is very good for changing thermal grease and 49 is a perfectly safe temperature to be running at.

to better understand where you are coming from we need to know what PC you are using. Did you build it? OEM? Have you cleaned it lately? 49/55 is actually kinda high for internet browsing. Nothing that is conserning, but higher than what I would have expected.
i using AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+,Nvidia geforce gt220,Amd cooler,Thermal grease Cooler Master HTK,ambient temp25-30 degrees celsius
With an AMD cooler that seems fairly decent for an X2.
cleaned it yesterday with compressed air. 2 degrees temperature lower.Not big effect

My 2 core 3800+ with stock AMD heatsink/fan is running at 49c ATM and it's using 100% cpu.
It doesn't get much hotter than that, I have seen it hit 52c before, but rarely.
