Processor Performance Controls
On select notebook models, Windows 2000 and Windows XP
support software that enables the user to control processor
performance. The central processing unit (CPU) speed can be
set for optimal performance or for optimal power conservation.
For example, the software can be set to trigger an automatic
change in processor speed when the power source changes from
external power to battery pack power, or when the notebook use
changes between active and idle.
Processor performance controls vary depending on the operating
system.
