agree. any theories on why w2k takes more power than xp? all things equal
to best of my ability, it just seems to take more power to run, which i have
no clue to explain.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the laptop design and the fan control
system.

some laptops are really quiet when they run, what fan do they use?

Due to being "battery powered", Laptops normally only increase fan speed
to prevent the CPU from frying.

is there any way to reduce the fan noise in a laptop?

I have changed fans and runs some fans at lower speed by using the 5v
bus for power in desktops.

any similar techniques with laptops?

thx, pjl
