<p>if you are running windows 7 via bootcamp on your macbook pro, it only uses the dedicated graphics card. Since the laptop can only uses the dedicated GPU even on the most basic tasks, the temperature of CPU rises. If you were to install a program that controls the fan speed of the macbook pro, sure it might sound less annoying, but you are really damaging the CPU because the CPU needs to be kept cool. If you get the 15in macbook pros ($1700 and $2000 with student discount) you can most likely run many windows programs through parallels or vmware fine. Although the 13in macbook pros have the new intel processors, I would really try to find out if it can handle strenuous programs well.</p>
