Which means we have to use the drivers provided by Intel??
Or do you just mean the speedstep functions?

I have cpuspeedfreq installed and when I'm quoting the number
of hours, I actually am quoting it with cpufreq turned on and running
at 600Mhz only with nothing plugged into the USB, backlight at it's dimmest
and all that. (Even the fan is turned off!)

No JOY!

So.. Centrino gives a better/longer Batt life?? MY foot! It actually depends
on the batt capacity the OEM gives you! The extra 1MB cache in Pentium-M
is nice though. :)
