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 can modify the Intel SpeedStep settings by
the power scheme you select. For more information, see “Changing power
settings” on page 165. If you are using Windows 2000, you can change the
SpeedStep settings using the Intel SpeedStep technology tab.
To change SpeedStep settings in Windows 2000:
1 Click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window
opens.
2 Double-click the Power Management icon. The Power Options Properties dialog
box opens.
