    Has anyone else noticed the fan on their 1530 running a lot? It doesn't run constantly, but even when the computer is idle the fan will start-up and run for a couple minutes every so often. I don't know if its because of Vista or what, but I thought this odd.


    Thanks

    Probably vista is doing one of its million "background" tasks...like indexing stuff or what not.
