    Sounds like a very good program. To be honest I'm a little surprised something like this hasnt already been implemented by microsoft or ati/nvidia.

    Another program worth checking out is RightMark CPU Clock Utility. With this program I've undervolted my laptop and can get a good extra hour out of it At idle it runs at 0.7v and load 1.1v - quite a bit lower than default!
