    Yes or no? If so, do you use Power4Gear or something else?

    If you can post your notebook model too that would be great.

    I'm doing this out of curiosity, thanks.

    Undervolting V6J with RMClock.

    No longer undervolting M6BNe, RMClock had some bugs where it would always lose its settings. I just use that computer to watch movies now, anyway, so it's no longer so important.

    Not undervolting W7Sg because RMClock is somewhat buggy with SantaRosa+Penryn, and I don't trust it. Moreover, the Penryn is a cool-running and power-efficient CPU as it is.

    No, Due to the fact that I have a desktop processor, and any software that polls the Battery causes windows to incorrectly measure battery capacity and battery wear.

    I don't use any solely because my C90s desktop processor won't derive a net gain from it. New laptop, yes I will undervolt.
