undervolt your centrino laptop so the battery lasts longer and cooler.

many people report an extra 15-30 minutes battery time, without any performance loss

I highly recommend this program!

It is very easy to use, and it has helped me extend my battery life by a good bit.

Also useful for those doing pin mods on 9300/xps 2's

I am soon getting an IBM R50e link
would this work on my laptop too.

Yes, it works on any Centrino platform (although you may not have some of the options, you definitely have all the hardware monitoring).

Great app :thumbsup:

If this works on my soon to be owned R50e Celeron M , then this will be a cause for celebration :beer:

Oh wait

Haha, forgot that was a Celeron M! Looks like it should still work with most features:

Info: Centrino Hardware Control works on all Notebooks with Intel CPU's.
Some features are only available on newer PentiumM CPU's (Centrino).

yes I didn't notice that in the website, but I might be getting the Pentium M R50e so It wouldn't be a problem both ways :beer:

:thumbsup: I love this program. The display of the current CPU speed in the tray, undervolting ability and smart battery control are all cool.
