SpeedStep
NOTE: If your processor does not support Speed-
Step, the blue flag will have an “x” over it. Enter-
ing 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.
