Changing the Processor Performance Mode
(Available on Select Models)
Computer models that provide Intel Pentium III with SpeedStep
technology allows you to enable an automatic change in processor
speed when the power source changes between AC power and
battery power.
The SpeedStep technology offers two preset performance modes:
■ In Maximum Performance mode, the processor runs at full
speed to provide maximum performance.
■ In Battery Optimized mode, the processor runs at a reduced
speed to provide optimal balance between energy conservation
and performance.
The computer can run in either performance mode while it is
running on AC power or on battery power.
