Hi all,

I found this following impressive site:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Extending_battery_life_on_X200

There, they reduce the power consumption by also fiddling with the CPU
voltage, which sounds totally crazy...
Can that seriously be done? What are the dangers?
Who has done it?

best,
Volker
