And I don't believe it matters how much of the memory is actually being used - it all needs to be powered.
Anyway I may be wrong, but I'd be surprised (pleasantly, of course) if I saw a major increase in battery life with WM 2005.

I'm with Ken. We really don't know how it is all going to go down, but there will also be increased I/O overhead (moving things back and form between RAM and BIS) as well as the CPU running at max more often.
I'm guessing that the acutal gain in battery life will be minimal - but this is ONLY a guess (i.e., I have no real data).
