power management. The power management feature allows you to reduce
the power consumption for energy savings. With an ACPI-compliant
operating system such as Windows XP, power supply to different components
is controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows for both maximum power
conservation and performance at the same time. In general, Windows power
management works as follows:
