Hi ... I just received my new Acer Lap Top . It is the Aspire 3500 series ...
Vista Home Premium .
15 1/4 inch screen with an AMD Turion 64X2 dual processor (CPU) ... DVDRW-CDRW
drive ... 1 gigabyte of RAM ( I will ask if I can add another 1 gigabyte of RAM
from Acer support help ) .
And a 120 gigabyte hard drive .
Soooo ... I have been doing a lot of reading ... one thing that I found is that
Vista has two real memory/resource hog`s ... they are the Vista Side Bar and
the Vista Aero Interface .
Sooo ... I found a free program called Vista Battery Saver for lap top`s ... it
save`s about 70% of the battery drain by making these two program`s temporarily
inactive ... when on the battery only setting .
Go here to download it ... about 910k in size .

You do have to be using the Vista Home Premium or better to use this program .
Vista Desktop unit`s don`t have this particular problem being as they are
plugged into a 110 AC wall plug .
Anyway`s ... I hope this is helpfull .
