CPU Speed indicates the processor speed at which your system boots.

Press the left- or right-arrow key to toggle the CPU Speed option between the resi- dent processor’s rated speed (the default setting) and a lower compatibility speed, which lets you accommodate speed-sensitive applications.

To toggle between the rated processor speed and the compatibility speed while the system is running in real mode, press <Ctrl><Alt><\>. (For keyboards that do not use American English, press <Ctrl><Alt><#>.)
