By default, the power scheme is configured to SAMSUNG mode. SAMSUNG
mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speedstep function. Since
SAMSUNG mode operates the CPU at half its original speed to reduce power con-
sumption, the operating speed of a program is slower than normal.
To use the SAMSUNG mode after reinstalling Windows, install the PowerCFG pro-
gram using the system software CD. (Celeron CPU- Intel Speed Step function is not
supported.)
