I've got my IBM T42 (Pentium M 715 - 1.5Ghz) to run at the following settings:

Low - 600Mhz at 0.700v (lowest possible voltage), down from 0.988v
Middle - 1Ghz at 0.750v
High - 1.5Ghz at 0.988v (same as default voltage for 600Mhz), down from 1.4v, will be testing lower soon

Don't know how much extra battery life I will get, but I think those results look pretty promising
