| | Re: Intel's Enhanced Speedstep Technology Post your questions here and we'll try to answer them. It is difficult to assign a value judgment like "pros and cons" to a concept like "A CPU that can adjust its performance to save power when full performance is not needed". -- Richard G.

| | Re: Intel's Enhanced Speedstep Technology I thought the question was straight forward-There is no info on this subject (that I can find) in these forums.The only way I discovered speedstep was by accident browsing through my bios settings.I also found out it is "disabled" by default. Question-what is speedstep? Question-Is there a setting in the Power Options for it? "Richard G. Harper" wrote: Quote: > Post your questions here and we'll try to answer them.

| | Re: Intel's Enhanced Speedstep Technology 1. Go to http://www.intel.com/ and search for Enhanced SpeedStep Technology - there are dozens and dozens of documents there that describe the technology. Or if you need a less technical description hit up Google or Wikipedia or some similar source. 2. SpeedStep is enabled or disabled in BIOS, not in Windows. If enabled it runs invisibly to the operating system. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@xxxxxx * NEW!
