    You can read your battery info with MobileMeter. The 12 cells are 88800mWh.

    All the HP/Compaq retail model desktop replacement notebooks have 8 cell batteries AFAIK. You have to do Configure-To-Order direct from HP to get the 12 cell. Given that the P4 is the least efficient CPU you can buy and you're playing games.. yup, 65 minutes sounds about right.
