Setting this item to Enabled allows you to use the
Turbo switch as Suspend switch. Pressing the Turbo
switch changes nothings for a Pentium system, so we
usually use this switch to act as a Suspend switch.
The default value of this item is Disabled.
Warning: If you use toggle mode Turbo switch as
Suspend switch, be sure to push it twice to simulate
momentary mode. Otherwise the system may hang or
fail to reboot.

This item lets you set the period of time after which
the system enters into Doze mode. In this mode, the
CPU clock slows down. The ratio is specified in the
"Throttle Duty Cycle". Any activity detected returns
the system to full power. The system activity (or
event) is detected by monitoring the IRQ signals.
