Back to [Processor Configuration Screen] - [Advanced Screen] 12.2.2.2 Power & Performance The Power & Performance screen allows the user to specify a profile which is optimized in the direction of either reduced power consumption or increased performance. To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > Power and Performance. To move to another screen, press the key to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen. There are four possible profiles from which to choose. When a Power and Performance Profile is chosen, that in turn will cause the system to implement a defined list of Setup option settings and internal (non-visible) settings. There is an explanation displayed on the screen, because of the fact that other settings may be adjusted without specifically notifying the user. 128 Revision 1.1 Intel order number G24881-004
