    I don't know how many people are familiar with this article.
    http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=2693&p=3

    In the article a processes is outlined for fixing the usb bug that seems to effect both core duo and pentium m processor based machines. The fix envolves playing around with the registry. Now I am a computer novice and don't know much about programing and such. Has anyone out there tried this process? If so did you see any increase in battery life? I know that MS came out with there own patch, but I have seen absolutely zero increase in battery life from it. Has anyone experienced the same thing? How about any increases?

    thanks alot for your help.
