works great on my Dell 8100 with a PIII-M/1200, but doesn't on a Dell 8000 
with a PIII-M/900 (therefore not the newer Tualatin core).

Have been using this for weeks in battery-optimized mode as default even when 
on AC; the machine stays way cooler and the fans come on much less.

Regards, 
  Frank
