UnderClocking a NoteBook

Hello, I'm pretty new to this stuff. (Well, I've known about it for years but I can't ever figure it out).


I just got a new computer. HP G60-235DX.

I'm going out for vacation and I want to massivly underclock the 2Ghx Core Dual Processor so it can last longer.

Vista's current power save mode increases the battery life but not as long as I want.

I was downloading CPU clock Monitering software and I noticed that Vista's built in power options actually changes the clock speeds but I can't find an option to let me manually choose the clock speed. For High Performance, it is 2 Ghz (as expected). For Balanced, it is 1.6 Ghz, and Power saver, it is 1.2 Ghz.

I want to under clock my notebook to 600 or 700 mhz. What should I do.
My bios, does not support over/under clocking.

Does anyone know how to use Vista's built-in power options to configure the clock speed? If not then, can you tell me some programs that can with a little explaination on how to use them? I've used a few and they are confusing.

On a notebook / laptop you are very limited as to what you can do.
Why dont you put it to sleep?
If you want to access it from abroad then set it to wake up by LAN.

Still in the same country, United States but I just want to underclock/undervolt by pc. Can you tell me how?

Since bios won't let me, are there any working clocking software?

Carrying a spare battery might be a solution.

I may be doing something wrong, but do I have to buy the pro version to change my cpu clock?

I mean, IT'S USELESS. All it does is moniter your computer. It has no option in the free version to change anything.

Right when I turn this on, my computer tempurature sky rockets.

From reading the FAQ, it may not be able to Pro or not.

"Why do I can't change the CPU Speed settings?
Changing the CPU Speed is not supported on your system"

I like the spare battery idea better.

Well, I can't randomly go buy batteries. I asked for a 1 day pro version of it and it is just as useless as the free version. Maybe I'm just not using it right but it doesn't do anything but moniter my computer specs.
