    If I undervolt it, what kind of improvement in battery life can I expect?

    When I connect it to a 720p LCD TV via HDMI the image doesn't scale perfectly. There are both horizontal and vertical black bars when I choose 720p and the image gets cropped when I choose 1080i (I can't see the taskbar). What resolution should I choose?

    After I'm done using HDMI, my desktop automatically goes to 16 bit and I have to set it to 32-bit everytime. Why does this happen?

    I don't own one, so I'm just guessing, but could it be that your cropped screen may be due to the X-6 outputting at 16:10 instead of a 16:9?

    I wouldn't undervolt if I were you. Wouldn't want to interfere with the overclocking.

    If your overclocking or having issues with your overclock on your current undervolt. Overclock the cpu and then start the undervolting find a stable voltage. Relieve the overclock once you found your voltages.

    Every chip is different even within the same model. The P7450 I had overclocked and ran stable on the minimum .900 voltage. The T9600 isnt the same exact opposite.
