ˆ Intel®SpeedStep™Technology Your Notebook PC is equipped with an Intel Mobile Processors with Intel SpeedStep technology, which allows you to customize high performance computing on your computer. When the computer is connected to the AC adapter, it can run the most complex business and Internet applications with maximum speed of processor. When the computer is powered by a battery, the processor drops to a lower frequency (such as degrading to 600MHz by changing the bus ratios and voltage), conserving battery life while maintaining a high level of performance. Manual override allows you to boost the frequency back to the high frequency when on battery, so that you can customize the system performance to meet your needs. y Using Intel SpeedStep Technology Since Windows XP has the Intel SpeedStep technology driver built into the system, the processor performance is controlled under the Power Scheme setting in the standard power options (see page 4-7). No additional program or interface is employed to set the policy. The following table describes the policy used in Windows XP. 84

Intel®SpeedStep™Technology
Your Notebook PC is equipped with an Intel Mobile Processors with
Intel SpeedStep technology, which allows you to customize high
performance computing on your computer.
When the computer is
connected to the AC adapter, it can run the
most complex
business and Internet applications with maximum speed of
processor.
When the computer is powered by a battery, the
processor drops to a lower frequency (such as degrading to
600MHz by changing the bus ratios and voltage), conserving battery
life while maintaining a high level of performance.
Manual override
allows you to boost the frequency back to the high frequency when
on battery, so that you can customize the system performance to
meet your needs.
Using Intel SpeedStep Technology
Since Windows XP has the Intel SpeedStep technology driver built
into the system, the processor performance is controlled under the
Power Scheme setting in the standard power options (see page 4-7).
No additional program or interface is employed to set the policy.
