I've got a dual 2.3 that occasionally goes full fan on. I use MenuMeters and such a full fan on condition is almost always accompanied by full 100% CPU usage on both CPUs. I click on the CPU monitor in the menu bar and select "Open Activity Monitor" which I sort by the CPU usage column descending. The offending process is always at the top in some sort of runaway mode. I highlight the process and "quit" it, and if that doesn't work, "force quit" it, and the fans always stop within just a few seconds. I haven't had this happen much recently, but I've drastically scaled back on using Firefox because it was most often the offending process.
