I've had my PB now for over a month, and it gets hot, as hot as my old Ti 1.0Ghz used to, but the Ti used to run a fan that I could hear... I haven't heard a fan yet in my PB... is this normal?

thanks guys

Get the Temperature Monitor

My PB fan is always running, but its very very quiet. When the temp reaches around 61*C the 'emergency' fan kicks in and its very very *loud* :]
