Attached.  Is there some tool for decoding the DSDT?

How would you expect it to look?  I did some non-conclusive tests under
Windows, and I'm beginning to get the feeling that there is actually a
cooling problem with the hardware.

It doesn't seem to help.  When its failing to control cooling (temp
creeps towards 100C while under load), its going at ~3700RPM, which is
about what level 7 does.

What's a typical max RPM?  I'm getting the impression that there's
either a thermal coupling problem between the CPU and its heatsink, or a
fan problem.
