If your radiator is working at partial efficiency (clogged tubes slowing coolant flow, or rotted fins which don't shed heat very well), you could wind up with symptoms identical to the ones you describe.
I had similar problems when I first got my current car, and swapping in a known good used radiator made a world of difference- my temp gauge now reads between 1/4 and 1/3 cruising, and when at a standstill on a hot day the fans kick in at a hair over 1/2, sending the needle back down to 1/3.
