    I have a Inspiron 6000 1.6 Pentium M and all the games I run while on AC power run smooth. But when I am on battery power they seem to lag. Is there something I can set to have the processor run at full speed while on battery power?

    Also take into consideration that when you do when you supply more juice to your graphics card, it is going to kill your battery life
