Setting the CPU Frequency Mode
For systems equipped with a Pentium ® III processor with
Intel ® SpeedStep ™ technology only, you can set the CPU
Frequency Mode as:
Dynamically Switchable -This mode is the default setting
for your computer, and automatically changes the
processing frequency and decreases voltage depending on
the power source:
AC Power - If your computer is connected to the AC
adapter, the CPU frequency mode is set to high for
faster processing.
Battery Power - If your computer is running on battery
power, the CPU frequency mode is set to low, for slower
processing. Switching the CPU to low allows you to
conserve power and extend the operating time of your
battery.
Always High - Sets the CPU speed to high when using
either the battery or the AC adapter.
Always Low - Sets the CPU speed to low when using
either the battery or the AC adapter.
By changing any of the options that appear in the dialog
boxes and clicking Apply, you can reconfigure that function.
Any options that you change will not take effect until after
you restart your system.
