Use this feature to configure Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
power management settings for your system.
High Precision Event Timers
Select Enabled to activate the High Performance Event Timer (HPET) that produces
periodic interrupts at a much higher frequency than a Real-time Clock (RTC) does in
synchronizing multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the de-
pendency on other timestamp calculation devices, such as an x86 RDTSC Instruc-
tion embedded in the CPU. The High Performance Event Timer is used to replace
the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer. The options are
Enabled
and Disabled.
Suspend Mode

Interface) sleep state for your system when it is in the Suspend mode. The options

state in these options.

for the Windows 2008 operating system (and later versions). The options are
