    P.S. Please try to make it more coherent next time, it's a bit hard to understand the first few times.

    RM Clock is the utility you're looking for.

    I just downloaded and installed it myself. What kind of benefit in battery life could I expect by using Power saving Level 7 when not plugged in?

    With performance on demand level 7 it means that it will wait till absolutely necessary to up the speed...

    As far as battery life goes, I get about 3 hours even with the machine locked at lowest speed using wireless the entire time. Also using a logitech wireless mouse (USB stuff will lower battery life)
