    I was just wonderig is there a progam i can download to control he clock speed of my core 2 duo, i know it has the speedstep feature but i want to force it to not go over say, 1 ghz per core when im on battery. My friend has an acer an he has a program form acer that an restrict cpu speed and it really helps with battery life.

    RmClock will also allow you to change the speed and voltage of your cpu. You can get your machine to run at a lower voltage. If it is still stable at that lower voltage, you can get even longer battery life.

    Notebook Hardware works fine, but it's a bit of a resource hog.
