huong23 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I am going to try OSx 10.4.5 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. Since I have a Pentium-M CPU, will OSX throttle CPU speed based on usage? Also, will I be able to suspend or set the LCD display to turn off after a certain amount of time? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works on my Inspiron). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing that I primarily use my laptop plugged into the AC outlet anyways. Otherwise the 100% cpu usage would drain my battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine kicks off and on automatically due to bios, but the os doesn't recognize it and utilize it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
