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. If you are using Windows XP, you can change the Intel SpeedStep
settings in the BIOS Setup utility. If you are using Windows 2000, you can
change the SpeedStep settings in Windows.
To change SpeedStep settings in Windows XP:
1
Turn on your notebook.
2
As soon as it starts and you see a startup screen, press
F2
. The BIOS Setup
utility opens.
3
Open the
Power
menu.
4
Highlight
Power Savings
, then change the value by pressing the
F5
or
F6
key.
