hey any of you guys that use Dell laptops, I found a downloadable utility that allows you to adjust and control your cooling fan speed. I have put it in use and it makes a big difference in the speed of my laptop when using it for long periods of time. Check it out:

Very cool Demobud. I will install it this weekend. That has always been my biggest complaint with Dell laptops.

It's pretty "cool", I ran mine wiht the fan controls off and the chip temp was in the 50/52* C range, with the fan on high it runs around 30-32*C.
