increased inactivity detection and lower CPU power states without
degrading performance. Windows may provide a Power icon in the
Control Panel that lets you select the type of APM you want to use: see
the Windows on-line help information about the Power functions.

the system ignores video activity (such as a
blinking cursor) and enters these modes as necessary.
