For computers that are equipped with a mobile Pentium® processor with Intel® SpeedStepTM technology, you can set the CPU Frequency Mode as:
Dynamically Switchable —This mode is the default setting for your computer, and automatically changes the processor’s frequency depending on the power source:
❖ AC Power — If your computer is connected to the AC adapter, the CPU frequency mode is set to High for faster processing.
❖ Battery Power — If your computer is running on battery power, the CPU frequency mode is set to Low for slower processing, however, the processor will increase its speed when additional processing power is required. Switching the CPU to Low allows you to conserve power and extend the operating time of your battery.
Always High — Sets the CPU speed to High for both battery and AC power.
Always Low — Sets the CPU speed to Low for both battery and AC power.
By changing any of the options that appear in the dialog boxes and clicking Apply, you can reconfigure that function. Any options that you change will not take effect until after you restart your computer.
