SPEED Utilit y
The
SPEED
utility enables you to set the current
CPU
operating speed to low, medium, or high. However, because
the faster speeds consume more power, you may want to
select the low or medium speed to conserve power when
you are operating the computer on its internal battery.
You can change
CPU
speed in Setup (as described elsewhere
in this manual) or by pressing CTRL-ALT-
↑
or CTRL-ALT-
↓
(except on
DX4
models).
