Well, I don't know about Geyserville technology, but my 4 month old
Toshiba, with AMD K6-2 333 processor not only has the battery level
power vs. the AC powered power, but you can customize the levels of
power, and the amount of time before the screen blanks, the hard drive
spins down, the cpu goes into hibernation mode, etc. as well as one of
four settings for power levels to the CPU.  It sounds like AMD has
really taken the lead in processor speed and functionality!  (actually,
I think that this is a function of the laptop/motherboard/bios and not
the CPU, but anyway...)
