Changing SpeedStep settings
The processor installed in your notebook may use Intel
®
SpeedStep™
technology to conserve battery power. A SpeedStep-equipped processor can
change its operating speed according to the power source. Your notebook’s
default settings operate the processor at full speed while connected to
AC power and at reduced speed (which uses less power) while using battery
power. If you are using Windows XP, you change the Intel SpeedStep settings
in the BIOS Setup utility. If you are using Windows 2000, you change the
SpeedStep settings in Windows.
