106 Managing Power
Changing SpeedStep settings
If your notebook has an Intel
®
SpeedStep™ processor, the 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.
2 Double-click the
Power Management icon (in Windows 98) or the Power
Options
icon (in Windows Me). If you do not see the Power Options icon,
click
view all Control Panel options, then double-click the icon.
The Power Management Properties dialog box opens.
3 Click the
Intel SpeedStep technology tab.
