I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6 It appeared in the Network Preferences as a new Firewire Network Interface, but my...

    Super noisy whiny fan

    I'm on a macbook pro 2 ghz intel core duo, and my fan just recently started whining and making really loud noise. I think it only happens when my 23" cinema display is plugged into it. I know this is just a hardware part failure, since this never happened before. There seems to be two...
