I want to add one thing.  The reason I am looking into this again is 
because I've been monitoring the temps with Core Temp, and even though 
it is still not as hot outside as it will get this summer, I have 
noticed the temps higher than during the winter in the heated garage. 
Where it used to idle at about 90-95F, it now runs at about 105-110F, 
and if I idle for a little when I come back I've seen it as high as the 
low 130's.  I am guessing this is because the fan on the processor isn't 
running as high since the processor is not working hard?  I go back to 
using it and it drops back down, which would seem counterintuitive. 
Anyway, I need to see if I can get these temps down a bit.
