[QUOTE="mini066, post: 489879, member: 37883"] Just a small update: I upgraded my Macbook to 2.5GB of RAM (2GB + 512MB stick). Opened Photoshop CS3, and made a a new 1024x768 image. Messing around, it was running a little slow, but I realized I made a five layered 1024x768 inch image instead of 1024x768 pixels (incredibly huge for Photoshop) . And the whole time the fan never took off! Anyway, to sum it up quicky, I think the reason the fan turns on a lot for some people is when the Macbook is writing to the hard drive during big application procedures. That in turn causes more heat, starting up the Macbook's fan. Upgrading the RAM solved my fan problems. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
