    I just purchased the aforementioned laptop to replace my R3425US. I want to undervolt my laptop so I downloaded RightMark. I referenced another guide at Laptop Logic but the versions were different or I missed something. Can anyone help with steps to undervolt this laptop. I want it to run full speed and all when plugged in, but undervolt and such when on battery power so I can run it longer. I appreciate the help.
    Note - I have messed with RMClock a little, but everytime I restart my computer, my P-State settings are gone and it is back to all the default settings.

    Set it run run automatically at startup & enable it to start minimized in the General tab(page where you can see info on your processor).

    If you want it to run at full speed when on A/C power, set the Performance/power profile in the management tab to "Maximal" - so the laptop runs at full power(max clock speed). For battery set it at "Minimal" - for max battery savings.

    There is no option to just enable undevolting when on battery but you can still enable it to make use of full power when on A/C & conserve power when running on battery.

    Try enabling these settings again & again as I have found that even if I have enabled all the check boxes sometimes it does not seem to have been enabled.

    This thread should help you:
    "Simple Undervolting Tutorial - Pentium M Dothan"
    http://www.notebookforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=167

    Though the instructions in the first post apply to the previous version of RMClock,
    the discussion in the end of the thread mentions the necessary changes, and the
    people there are very helpful.
