SpeedStep

NOTE: If your processor does not support

SpeedStep, the blue flag will have an “x” over it.

Entering the properties page (double clicking with

left button or selecting the menu called up by the

right button) will show grayed out items.

SpeedStep Properties and Settings

Passing the cursor over the blue flag icon will

show the performance status. There are two sta-

tuses: “Maximum Performance” or “Battery

Optimized Performance”.

Select “Ask me before automatically

changing performance” if you tend to

plug and unplug the power while the

Notebook PC is running applications.

This will ensure that running applica-

tions do not stop due to a decrease in

processor speed.
