    I want to keep my fans running at max rpm while gaming in Windows through Bootcamp to help with the heat. Can anyone recommend a good program that would enable me to control the fan speed for XP Pro?

    Okay that's definately a possibility. Are there any programs that I can just have for Windows though?

    Umm, not that I know of. It would have to probably be model specific since I believe the fan control is not in the OS, but from the motherboard. I used to have a program that was made specifically for certain dell laptops that I used. So, there isn't any sort of universal fan control program that I know of.
