Setting the CPU Frequency Mode
For systems equipped with a Pentium
®
 III processor with Intel
®
 
SpeedStep
TM
 technology, you can set the CPU Frequency Mode 
as:
Dynamically Switchable —This mode is the default setting for 
your computer, and automatically changes the processing 
frequency and decreases voltage depending on the power source:
AC Power — If your computer is connected to the AC 
adapter, the CPU frequency mode is set to high for faster 
processing.
Battery Power — If your computer is running on battery 
power, the CPU frequency mode is set to low, for slower 
processing. Switching the CPU to low allows you to conserve 
power and extend the operating time of your battery.
Always High — Sets the CPU speed to high when using either 
the battery or the AC adapter.
Always Low — Sets the CPU speed to low when using either the 
battery or the AC adapter.
By changing any of the options that appear in the dialog boxes and 
clicking Apply, you can reconfigure that function. Any options 
that you change will not take effect until after you restart your 
system.
