For Vista:
If possible, what did you changed? What is lowest and highest % you set Processor Power Management for battery\power and also do you enabled USB Settings to conserve power?

I'm getting 2 hr 15minutes on slim 4cell battery. But I would like some silence if possible.

I wish I can do that too, and be safe from heat.

My cpu fan has become making kind of anoying noise from 9 month use. Fan doesn't run that fast, but often makes kind of like a low tone grinding noise.

Anyone know if the system fans are customer replacable? Probably not, right? When I had a Dell, I always replaced everything (MB, LCD, BT, fan) myself by convincing the rep. on the phone that I know how do replace it.

I will be also happy to know if it's possible to set the power management of the X61s to avoid the fan
