After further investigation of the above with the helpful hint of checking out 'fancontrol' apparently my laptop contains no pwm capable chips. Now I suspect this is highly unlikely as the fan speed does indeed change under vista. I wonder then if it's just not detecting the chip. Anyone know of a utility or way to find my chip? -- "All any drug amounts to is tweaking the incoming data.
