RE; since I only have a G-4 tower and not a book Im going to guess heat will continue to be a problem simply because the size heat sink for a g-4 chip is enormous,and the fan system is the best Ive ever seen short of water cooling,with the intro of the powerbook in titanium the entir case is a heat sink,what Im thinking is add-in fans made for PC notebooks may be the best solution,and I appreciate your postings as its helping me greatly in decideing which notebook to get for my next machine, thankyou much and best wishes
