Windows should not be running so hot that the fan is always on. If I am surfing with lots of Macromedia (Flash ads, UTube) then the fan roars as the CPU heats up, but the fan should go down to zero
I don't think this is accurate. My fan (according to iStat Pro) runs all the time at 1800 rpm. I think I read somewhere that that is the default speed. Now maybe it's so quiet at that speed that no one can hear it. I certainly can't. When I load my system up with Parallels and Vista, the speed kicks up to as much as 6500 rpm which I'm certain is a function of the increase CPU cycles making more heat to get rid of.
Unfortunately for me (or perhaps fortunately), my hearing has gone South with a lifetime exposure to jet noise, so my Mac fan noise even at high speed is just a gentle hush.
