I'd add one extra "fold" :). The fan
controller(s) in the first Macbook
Pro were set to almost *never* turn them on.
And yet the fastest G5 and G4 models blew like wind tunnels. I own both
an MDD G4 and a liquid-cooled quad G5 and they roar at full tilt. The
G5 can outroar even my notoriously noisy POWER6.
On the flip side, the iMac G4 (the "Luxo Jr" variety) was a very quiet
machine. Even after adding a small fan to it, it is still very quiet and
my iMac has never overheated. It ventilates quietly through the top of
the "foot."
