Suspend Mode
You can select suspend mode by this item. Power

On Suspend is the traditional Green PC suspend
mode, the CPU clock is stop, all other devices are

detected by monitoring the IRQ signals or I/O.
Suspend to Hard Drive saves system status,
memory and screen image into hard disk, then the
power can be totally Off. Next time, when power is
turned On, the system goes back to your original work
within just few seconds, which depending on your
memory size. You need utility AOZVHDD to reserve
disk space.
Power Management à Throttle Duty Cycle
Throttle Duty Cycle
Clock Throttling means at the Doze/Standby state,
the CPU clock count in a given time (not the
1
2.5 %
frequency) is reduced to the ratio specified in this
25.0 %
parameter. Actually, the period per CPU clock is not
37.5 %
changed. For example, a 66MHz CPU clock remains
50.0 %
the same 30ns clock period when system goes into
62.5 %
Doze/Suspend. The chipset generates the STPCLK
75.0 %
(stop clock) signal periodically to prevent CPU for
87.5 %
accepting clock from clock generator. For full power
on, the CPU can receive 66M count in one second. If
the Slow Clock Ratio is set to 50%, the CPU will only
receive 33M clock count in one second. This will
effectively reduce CPU speed as well as CPU power.
