The fan in mine only comes on after I've disconnected the battery and AC(the PRAM is dead). It comes on for a couple of seconds, and then I never hear it come on again.

If you have the "Mainstreet" version with 2MB VRAM, then 16bit is it at 1024x768 on the 13" and 14" screens. The 12" is only 800x600, and should do 24bit with 2MB. Need to know what your specs are as well. Processor speed and video chip.
