Xorg: radeon vs fglrx

Hi,

I have a radeon HD4670 and while I would like to stick to free software as
much as possible, I might soon permanently switch to fglrx drivers because
of the difference it makes on PC noise level.

When using fglrx, my PC gets very silent when xdm starts. When using the
radeon xorg driver, the noise level stays the same.

Has anyone eperienced this before and even more importantly found a
solution for this problem.

Thanks.
