OK so I ran a test on two different computers.
Desktop Specs - P4 3.02 HT - 1GB PC4200 DDR
Notebook Specs - P4 3.02 HT - 1GB PC2700 DDR
The notebook is always connected to the AC and in Power Management set to "Always On".
I did the test on both these machines using the same settings with minimal multitasking.(Just surfing the web). Here is the log for the desktop results, I don't have the notebook log here. The notebook took about 2 hours and some minutes to complete while the desktop only 41 minutes.
