    I've heard that the Go7400 requires an additional 10 to 15% power vs. the GMA950. I've also heard overclocking the Go7400 will futher reduce battery life.

    How about underclocking? Could this save significant battery?

    Is there a way to switch between GMA and the Geforce?
    I have a m1210.

    Sorry Mike, the M1210 doesn't have that feature. You're thinking of the Sony SZ.
