Actually in the benchmarks that i've pounded through(all on 32 bit windows). 
The AMD-64 laptops give 2+hours of gaming on battery, and 3-3.5 hours doing 
standard things such as web browsing and simple tasks, and dvd playing 
somewhere in-between. On windows the Athlon-64 underclocks to 800mhz(although 
doesn't affect performance as expected) from 2ghz when on battery saver mode, 
so it saves quite a bit of battery life when you don't need the "extra 
performance".
