TribesMan Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 OK... I was fooling around with this option wich can be found under System Preferneces/Energy Saver/Options I tried all three options: Automatic/Highest/Reduced and I also benchmarked all three settings with Xbench And results on IBM T42 are: Automatic: 41.22 Highest: 46.15 Reduced: 35.43 I also noticed that my battery life is much better with Automatic setting: 3h10m (with Highest, battery dies after 2h), I haven't tested battery life using Reduced performance. Laptop is also much cooler when running on Automatic setting. It is also worth mentioning that this option showed up after I installed OS X from patched DVD... when I was using DD'ed image from VM Ware this option wasn't available. Laptop users try this out... it might solve high battery consumption on your laptops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
