Changing SpeedStep settings

The processor installed in your notebook may use Intel
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.
