I want to try and make my G/F's HP Lappy last a bit longer. It only lasts about 2 hours with a full battery. What is a good program to use to undervolt the processor?

Notebook Hardware Control is the way to go. You can really undervolt the processor, and the Pentium M runs very well with low voltage.
That being said, undervolting does not tend to increase battery life by much.

Ok... Well what can I do here to extend it. I would like it to last around 3 hours.

ah yes i know this laptop well (look in sig)
alot of these laptops came with a celeron pentium-m if that is the case then it is not going to be able to dynamicly switch
if you have a true pentium-m then it can dynamicaly switch and in that case do what i said before and get NHC and while running on battery set it to max battery inside of NHC also lower the voltages (really you just need to lower the lowest multiplier voltage, i have a 1.6 so i lowered it to .7 volts) and besides that the only thing left is turn your screen down all the way
also you should be able to pick up a second battery for under $60 dollars on ebay (i did)
and with my current configured system i can get about 3 hours and 30 minutes

RMClock 1.8. Awsome program with support for most if not all CPUs, not just mobiles.

Ok well I changed some settings around on the laptop.. Hopefully it'll last a bit longer. I will find out on Sunday on the plane.

What did you change and how did you do it? RM wouldnt let me change anything with my Celeron M. I just thought that Celeron M's didn't support that, but you got it to work somehow.
