    Hi

    I was waiting for a working NHC version for Vista but the dev only deliver broken promises time after time. I tested RMClock in the meantime and it works well.

    However I'm not sure if those tools are any useful under Vista. Monitoring my system with Everest I saw that the voltage drops to 0.95V and the clock to 1GHz (fot my T2500) anyway with Vista when idleing or permanently using power saver plan. What additional benefit would NHC deliver??? Undervolting was always the big idea with those tools but since Vista does that on its own and runs for a pretty long time (battery lifetime is close to 4h in stamina mode for me) what more would NHC and co deliver besides eating up RAM???
