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.
To change SpeedStep settings:
1 Click Start, then select Settings, then Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If you do not see the
Power Options or Power Management
icon, click
view all Control Panel options.
2 Double-click the Power Options or Power Management icon. The Power
Options Properties dialog box opens.
3 Click the Intel SpeedStep technology tab.
