laptop power saving

[apache_lives]

what are some good tips to extend laptop battery life

at the moment iv set speedstep to stay at lowest speed and set monitor to minimum brightness and contrast.

what im wondering though, is there a screensaver or program that will switch off the monitor and ignore keystrokes (when im listening to music on the go for example) to save power?

I've undervolted my Turion. It now run at .9v instead of 1v at 800MHz and 1.125v instaed of 1.4v at full speed(1.6GHz)

It can be done with Rightmark CPU Clock utility
