If￿you￿are￿running￿the￿computer￿from￿the￿battery￿rather￿than￿the￿ AC￿adapter,￿make￿sure￿that￿you￿set￿the￿Battery￿Power￿Saving￿ Mode￿field￿in￿System￿Setup￿to￿Non-Turbo.￿This￿setting￿enables￿the￿microprocessor￿and￿the￿hard￿drive￿to￿slow￿down￿when￿the￿ computer￿is￿idle.￿

You￿can￿also￿enable￿other￿power-saving￿options￿through￿System￿Setup.￿Set￿the￿timeout￿times￿in￿the￿Standby￿Timeout￿and￿Suspend￿ Timeout￿fields￿to￿the￿shortest￿times￿to￿ensure￿maximum￿power￿ savings.￿
