Is there any program that can be a battery monitor as well as add battery and power use tweaking to a laptop?

So I could clock down my processor to save on battery life.
That's basically it. I can adjust the screens brightness, but that doesn't make any significant changes to battery life. I know I could disable wireless and that might help some. But aside from that, the processor is the 2nd largest power consuming piece for a laptop.

My laptop is a Compaq Presario 2100 with an AMD Athlon XP 2400 Mobile processor.
 
in the power options, power scheme
there should be "max battery life"
 
Thanks NetRyder. I knew there had to be something out there. I hate the Windows Power Schemes. They really don't seem to cut it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
