I got myself a V3415AU from all it hypermarket, forgot to ask whether they sell extra battery 9-cells.

Anyway, anyone knows whether lowyat sells them and how much ?
The battery drains quite fast IMO, unlike my dell inspiron, it has a software configuration to reduce power consumption when power is not plugged. I am sure its not a big deal since these remedy can be customised.

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer -
The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) -
Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination to match the instantaneous user performance need. This package is a user friendly localized software installation of the driver designed for end-users. This driver supports AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86 and x64 Editions.

Computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features may experience decreased performance

Already la, All IT gave me all the drivers.
If you owned a dell inspiron 6000 series before, you will know the power management is better.
For instance, if you unplug power cord, the monitor's brightness will automatically reduced and other features will also be disabled (wifi, blutooth..so on) to save power.
In addition, the V3000 series blue led lits up all the time which consume power as well. If I am on the run, I dont really need the led to be on all the time. I prefer it to lit for 10 secs if any keys are touched then switched off to save power.

I think that's the only downer for me, battery life and power management. That's the reason why I need extra 9-cells !!!!
