    2 issues I want to clarify here about the 4820T :

    a) I was running Adobe Bridge cs5 and converting my RAWs to JPGs - realized that the cpu usage isn't consistent. it fluctuates from 40% to 100% despite me setting the Bridge process to realtime. I tried on my desktop and it actually does work 100% on converting the RAWs. what's wrong here?

    b) is the fan really that noisy? was previously using the aspire 2920z and it was really silent, even when on full load. :eek:

    oh yes, forgot to mention one important thing :

    was on AC power with battery taken out. power settings = high performance.

    shouldn't turboboost kick in and stay there till my conversion task completes?
