    Searched with no luck.

    Is there any benefit to underdriving the M1210 Video card (NVIDIA 7400) when only doing light computer use to preserve battery life?

    If so how is it done?

    your future Vista installation will be definitely pleased with Go 7400 :) I am not sure what kinda UI you will get with the integrated graphics.
