    I've just got a "centrino" package. (it's just a gimmick??)

    anyways, it comes with that proset intel wireless software. My question is that does the proset thing give me any real advatage (like battery life, stability, etc) over the vanilla MS wireless zero??

    Either way works for me, but it seems like PROset is tinkering something... would it introduce some cpu load thus kill my batter life?

    personnaly on every install I do I set wireless zero to manage connections. I've had the least problems with MS controlling it.
