SPEED Utility
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).
Show Speed Switch
The SPEED command /S(how) switch displays the current
CPU speed setting if you type at the C:\> prompt
SPEED /S
and press ENTER. The program displays
Current CPU speed is set to [High, Medium, or Low]
Note: For this utility to work correctly on a DX4 model,
EMM386 or other memory managers must not be loaded.
Using the SPEED Utility
You can set the CPU speed to low, medium, or high by
typing at the C:\> prompt
SPEED [/L] [/M] [/H]
and pressing ENTER. The /L switch sets CPU speed to low,
/M to medium, and /H to high. The program responds to
the command by displaying
Current CPU speed is set to [Low, Medium, or High]
