Updated with initial 8-cell results. Not too surprisingly, the 8-cell lasts almost exactly 2x as long as the 4-cell (plus a few minutes). Does anyone else have corroborating results?

Hey, thought I'd share a bit of benchmarking I did tonight. I recently purchased a 60GB 7200rpm hard drive, so I stuck that in my Dell 700m (1.6ghz, 512mb, Intel 2200, CDRW). By the way, if anyone decides to reinstall the harddrive...
