Processor Performance Controls (Select Models Only) On select notebook models, Windows XP supports software that enables you 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 activate 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 are managed in the Power Options Properties dialog box. To access Windows XP processor performance controls: » Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes tab. The power scheme you select determines how the processor performs when the notebook is connected to external power or is running on battery power. Each power scheme for external power or battery power sets a specific processor state. 18 Power

enables you 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 activate 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 are managed in the
Power
Options Properties
dialog box.
To access Windows XP processor performance controls:
ยป
Select
Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes
tab.
The power scheme you select determines how the processor
performs when the notebook is connected to external power or is
running on battery power. Each power scheme for external power
or battery power sets a specific processor state.
