Good point. On my PB12 .9GHz it's not exactly deafening. Just annoying. The pitch and volume
changes a lot, but I don't know if constant drone would be worse. I do know that after a couple of hours
of it I was getting a bit testy.

FYI: Thinking this thread had died, I started another on the fan topic today. After my last post in that
thread I tried killing a bunch of processes with A.M. and the fan just kept on going. Interestingly though,
when I then did another Restart the fan didn't come back on in the few minutes more I waited before
putting it to sleep. I'll post a followup in the other thread tomorrow.
