Power Management

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 600m and it is a dual boot to Windows Xp and Vista. (I couldnt leave xp, too great of an operating system.) Anyways, whenever I take my laptop somewhere and use the battery it seems to loose its power a lot quicker than Xp. I was just wondering if there are more processes that are used for the awesome graphics or if I havent configured the power management right.? Any suggestions. The processor is also a 1.8Ghz with 1Gb of RAM

There are many factors that impact battery life. The Windows Core Power and Performance teams are scrutinizing the Windows Vista product, looking at power consumption as a performance metric. Several Vista components have known issues and these are being addressed.
