Ok, I get that the Celeron isn't as advanced, and that it doesn't "downclock" itself to save battery power... And that P. M on average get about 30 minutes more...

What I'm wondering.

I would be using the computer for either very extreme things, like full on gaming, but I would be doing this attached to a wall, and Battery life would be a non issue.

On the other hand, when I am going off the battery I would be reading, thats it, one program, Uses about 1,200-1,400k of Mem.

So what I wanna know is if I can manualy do what the Pentium does automaticly?

I know about:

Turning off the net.
Not playing any sound.
Lowering the brightness.


Any other tips to conserve battery power? Would it be possible to swap between "high end" and "low end"?
