Win Xp On A Laptop

Recommended Posts

If you run IronCAD on a laptop with Windows XP; it turns out that the power configuration you choose has a lot to do with how well your machine performs. The whole article can be found here:

...The short version of it is: If you want max performace out of your laptop while it is plugged in, set the Power Configuration to "Home/Office Desk". If you want max performance from the processor while on the battery (and you don't need it for long), set the power scheme to "Always on". Anything else and Bill Gates is throttling your CPU to save (battery) power.
