Applet for Intel SpeedStep2 Technology
The processors that ship with the NEC Versa L320 notebook computer include the Intel
SpeedStep2 technology. Intel SpeedStep2 technology allows you to customize
performance of your NEC Versa notebook, optimizing performance when your system
is running under AC power, and conserving battery life when your system is running on
battery power.
If your processor is equipped with Intel SpeedStep2 technology, an icon appears on
your taskbar allowing you to adjust processing properties. However, the default settings
are recommended for optimal performance and battery conservation.
