Need 8204 mobilemark numbers with USB fix

[Mr.X]

Can anyone run a test to see if the registry fix makes a difference to the battery life on the 8204? No need to plug anything in - the integrated camera is already a USB2 device and will work for the test.

Sorry I thought I had mentioned this already, but when this was originally pointed out a few weeks back I went to try it. This fix already exists in the 8204's Registry. Just confirms Manufacturers awareness of the problem. Looks like the folks over at Acer already took care of it. I think a better fix is suppose to be in the works though. Or at least I hope. In their release Microsoft mentions that another fix may be in the works. I'm up to about 3:45 minutes of battery now after having cycled throughthe battery life a few times. That's pretty good in my book. Certainly acceptable for my purposes.

Cool. Thanks!

so when i get the 8204, should I drain the battery and recharge to full a few times to get the best battery life long term?
