This makes a world of difference on my laptop. I have the celeron processor and it uses more of the battery then my friends laptop. He has the Centrino. I hope this helps.....
I can use my laptop for about 3 to 3 and a half hours if I keep the brightness turned down. With the brightness all the way up I might get 2 and a half....

yea thats a good idiea too, thanks
