WiFi battery life

my centrino laptop (dell 600m) gets around 3 hours of battery life with WiFi on and around 3 1/2 with WiFi disabled. beats the talk time on my sanyo 5300 by about an hour and a half :). I also had a a WiFi card on a pcoket PC, and got around 1.5 battery life with constant surfing, vs. around 2.5 hours playing games without the wifi card. it definitely has an impact.
