Allows the user to set an overall
power and performance policy for
the system, and when changed
will modify a selected list of
options to achieve the policy.
These options are still
changeable outside of the policy
but do reflect the changes that
the policy makes when a new
policy is selected.
Choosing one of these four Power and
Performance Profiles implements a
number of changes in BIOS settings,
both visible settings in the Setup screens
and non-visible internal settings. For
detailed lists of settings affected by each
profile, see Table 30.
