Here is a little program which stops the whinning of every 1 Generation MBP:

Product Description:

This is a fix for the MacBook Pro whine issue using a StartupItem that loads a kernel extension which disables the C4 power mode on the CPU. It is packaged in a standard Mac OS X installer to make installation easy.

 

Do NOT install this on computers other than the first generation MacBook Pro.

 

This software is unsupported and comes with absolutely no warranty.

I tried on my MBP 1.83 for few minutes only : it works but my computer ran considerably warmer. I did not test the battery life. It was so hot I decided to remove it.

 

I read in other various forums that Apple is unofficially starting to replace logic bord of whining MBP (early ones, 1.83 GHz). I will ask for a repair tomorrow. You should do that if you can. Don't believe "It's within spec". It is not.
