processing speed is lowered. This can be 
specified in the Power Options.

Hibernation Mode
This feature lets you turn off the power to the 
computer without exiting from your software. The 
contents of main memory are automatically saved 
to the hard disk drive so that when you next turn 
the power on again, you can continue working 
right where you left off. Refer to the 
 section in Chapter 1, 
for more details.
Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you can use 
this feature to allow you to turn off power to the 
computer without exiting from your software. Data 
is maintained in the computer's main memory so 
that when you next turn on the power, you can 
continue working right where you left off.
USB Wakeup function This function restores the computer from Sleep 
Mode depending on the external devices 
connected to the USB ports.
For example, if a mouse or USB keyboard is 
connected to a USB port, clicking the mouse 
button or pressing the keyboard will wakeup the 
computer.
