Thank you for that. The ability to reduce the speed would be useful. I do notice the batteries die a lot quicker on this laptop (Sony VGN-SZ4XWN/C dual core 2.0 GHz Intgel Due 2 core T7200 CPU) when on Solaris than Vista. Sony claim up to 6 hours, but whilst I have never got that, I can get 4 hours on Vista. But on Solaris 2 hours is about the max. The other issue with this laptop is that it has two graphics chips - a low power Intel chipset and a higher performance Nvida FeForce Go 7400 GPU one. But Solaris is only using the higher performance one, which I hardly ever use on Vista. That said, since I have installed Solaris, I hardly ever use Vista!!!
