Power Management
Power Schemes 4 - 5
4
Each Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of
your machine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are
experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).
Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the
computer is powered from an AC power source. Choose the Max Battery
scheme (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall perfor-
mance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving
when the computer is battery (DC power) powered.
Windows will use Porta-
ble/Laptop as the default scheme.
For advanced information see “Power Schemes and Processor Perfor-
mance” on page B - 2 .
CPU SpeedStep
Controls & CPU
Performance
If you have a Pentium
M processor
, the set-
tings for CPU Speed-
Step Controls will
have an affect on the
CPU’s speed and per-
formance (in order to
save power under cer-
tain conditions). See
“Intel CPU Speed-
Step Controls” on
page B - 3
for more
details on how the set-
tings control the CPU
speed and perfor-
mance. If you have a
Celeron M Processor
the settings are emu-
lated by CPU throttling.
