    i recently ordered a Dell E1505 with duo core T2400, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 100 GB 5400 RPM HD with the 9 cell battery
    i want to undervolt it to keep it cool and add some battery life
    i found a step by step procedure and was wondering if anyone knew if it was good or not
    any help would be good
    thanks in advance

    I also suggest you check out the asus forum. Look under the stickies, and look for the FAQ. There is buried in there a good, if not a little outdated, and simple set of recommendations. That along with the recomendation above ought to do it for you. Note that you now need .net v2 rather than 1.1 as noted in that thread.

    I heard NHC could cause problems with Core Duo processors. RMClock is an excellent alternative.
