I like the CPU speed control in Power-->Advaanced settings, with precision
to 1%.

We've always had it in IBm Thinkpads, since IBm sold it to China which
rebranded it as Lenovo, I switched to American HP.
Regular Windows, not taylored by IBM, was never aware of Thinkpads unique
internals.

Now with Vista it doesn't matter, i can control processor and I CAN SEE &
HEAR RESULTS! Suppose fan is blowing and my hand can feel warm air
flowing from vents, I tested it several times when I switch from CPU 100%
to 25%, fan slows down stops, air gets cooler, and fan is often stopped
which gives me some peace in temrs of reliability. A hot computer is
bound to sustain permanent damage, heat is the biggest killer of
electronics.

So I switch to 100% when running CAD & Graphics/Video apps, 25% when
writing articles, 10% when reading/browsign plain text, of course I don't
annoy myself by clicking switches and playign with this instead of real
work.

But still i appreciate this control, because I my profession is
electroncis-related I just like this type of clock frequency control.
IBM also provided us with automatic CPU, automatic PCI bus or fixed PCI
bus frequency, optical drive turn-off time in addiiton to harddisk timer
found in Vista, and IBm wrote a "PS2" utility ran under DOS or Win command
prompt for real techies who get deep into hardware, we don't have that in
Vista but I don't care.
I have a real quiet laptop now despite its gigantic 17inch display and
hardware meant for hard-core CAD, Graphics & Gaming, you don't alway sneed
processor toiling hard in summer heat, only asking for potential fan
damage-->CPU damage, so thsi control is nice....
Click to expand...

Knowing all of this makes me feel and sleep a lot better.
Thanks for the good news.

Every laptop has it as a means to use less battery. Some people will use
this to overclock.
 
Can you please tell e how to get to power advanced settings i have checked
under power options and cannot see advanced maybe i am in incorrect control
power options

Thanks a lot
