    oh yeah. I heard about that. See, the old guys in the engineering dept can't hear it, so they don't even know it's a problem. it's probably not the battery, but it doesn't really matter since you can't do anything about it. you could plug it in and take out the battery and put it in another room just to rule that out.

    im afraid thats not your battery man, its your CPU, all core duos do that, and only us young fellers can hear it :)

    so no there really isnt anything you can do, i have found, however, that windows 7 reduces this noise, so its no longer a bother.
