Power Mac G5 has noisy fans when system is used alot...
I have recently bought myself a Power Mac G5, the first G5 PowerMac I have ever owned, and also the highest PowerPC machine I have ever owned. Whenever I do things such as running virtual PC, or genesis plus, or even going on Apple Communities, the fans kick up for a moment, get noisy, then go back down. Any idea? My old main machine, a Power Mac G4 wasn't this noisy when I was doing things like this. I don't mind the noise, it's just that it might get irritating after a while. Thanks for any help, even though it might sound like a beginner's question. I have been into macs since 1999, but this is my first Power Mac G5, so I am not familiar with it's behavior.
Specs:
1.8GHz PowerPC G5 DP (Fan Cooled)

I included the model identifier with this specs in case anyone could identify what could be causing this. This is an early or mid 2004 machine.
