I've got 10.6.3 running great on my dell inspiron 6400 using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Unfortunately, I've noticed that the battery lasts only about 70 minutes doing normal surfing, while when I'm running win7, it lasts more than 120 minutes.

 

I've got the screen dimmed down, and that doesn't seem to help much.

 

Temps range from 36 to 55 degrees C, before the fan kicks in and cools back to 36.

 

I've generated c and p states, but that didn't make any difference at all.

 

Can anyone help out here?

 

Thanks so much!
