    I've read ppl talking about using it on their Core Duo machines. What about Core 2 Duo?
    NHC's web site has a Core Duo and Core 2 Duo patch dated Oct 3, 2006.
    I wonder how could people use it before the patch was available.
    Any suggestions on what voltage to use?

    looks like a handy program...I'd also like to know which voltages to use.

    how exactly does undervolting works? when i look at the cpu voltage tab, i see that my cpu has a mutiplier of 13x, and a voltage of 1.2625v.

    do you extend life if you lower the multiplier? how much does one typically lower the multiplier/voltage?

    i have a e1705 with the T2250 intel core duo cpu btw :D

    /edit oh.... i just noticed that the multiplier drops to 6x and 0.9500v when its running on batteries. i guess NHC automatically does it for you, and i dont see an option to go lower than that.

    I tried it a couple of months ago on my girls M1210 with a 1.7 core duo. It either blue screened the cpu, or completly shut it down. One or the other, but I know it didn't work on hers.

    NHC (Notebook Hardware Control) is a pretty niffty little program Designed for the pentium M I believe (I may be wrong). It give you control over things such as the power scheme of your CPU while plugged in or on batt. It also allows you to under volt your cpu as well as giving you some clock control if you have an ATI card. It also enables you to do things like monitor the cpu and hard drive temps. I'm sure there is more that I'm missing, I'll try to find the program specs for you...

    EDIT: From thier website.

    What is Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) With Notebook Hardware Control you can easily control the hardware components of your Notebook

    Notebook Hardware Control helps you to: - control the hardware and system power management - prolong the battery lifetime - cool down the system and reduce power consumption - monitor the hardware to avoid system failure - make your Notebook quiet Easy to use, friendly program surface and for free NHC isn't only very powerful; it has a friendly program surface, it's easy to use and free for private use.
