Notebook hardware control

Hi!
I want to use the notebook hardware control to decrease the core voltage.
Unfortunately the NHC 1.10 Beta 03 does not allow lower voltage setting than 0.95v at 1000Mhz (6x167) on my T2400 (1706-8AG). Do you have any idea how can I decrease the minimum voltage?
Thanks in advance!

Have you checked out the thinkpad utility work area of the forum?

I tried, but it cannot control the core voltage of the CPU. I want to undervolt my cpu, because all the centrino processor I had was able to run on 25% less core voltage than normal.
It will be about an hour battery time if I can reach the 25% core voltage decrease on this T2400 Yonah.
I contacted the author of the NHC, so I hope it will be helpful to others.

If you figure this out, please remember to come back and post the result. I'd love to do this as well! (Why do the default utilities offer so little customizability? I've noticed that using adaptive profiles, it only seems to switch between 2 clock speeds and 2 voltages... bummer!)

Im using an older version of Hotebook Hardware Control called Centrino Hardware Control v.1.8.2.
I have the option of dropping the voltage at multiplier of 10 down to 0.7v. Right now I'm running that multiplier at 0.796v on my Pentium M (T42).
If you want it, I think I have it saved on my HD.

Actually, I read on a forum that the Core Duos are locked to a minimum voltage of 0.95v.
Sorry!

What about clock speed?
