SpeedStep Applet
Your NEC Versa LXi notebook computer includes Intel’s SpeedStep technology that
allows you to customize high-performance computing on your NEC Versa to optimize
processing speed and to conserve battery life.
If your processor is equipped with SpeedStep technology, an icon appears on your
taskbar allowing you to adjust processing properties. However, the default settings are
recommended for optimal performance and battery conservation.

A variety of third-party software applications, drivers, utilities, internet browsers and
the NEC Info Center are provided on the Application and Driver (A&D) CD that ships
with your NEC Versa LXi system. Some of the drivers are already installed as part of
your operating system environment. The additional software on the Application and
Driver CD lets you take full advantage of your system resources.
