    I just got a netbook Acer 751h which is mounting an atom z520 cpu and an Intel gma 500 chipset.
    Are there utilities to undervolt them in some way?
    I know it won't change much, but as I have a 3-cell battery the more I get the best.

    Don't think you can do it. I've tried a couple undervolting tools on a Dell Mini 9 and nothing works.
