The fact is, semiconeng, that NO DELL laptops allow you to change to full speed operation on batteries. At least not the two deluxe models, C800 and C810. The URL you gave me has nothing to do with SpeedStep. In fact, the word SpeedStep does not even appear in DELL's user manual. You can use the system setup program as follows: To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your password or power management features These power management features are described elsewhere in the manual. They control things like Suspend to Disk vs. Suspend to RAM, time delays for power saving features to kick in, etc. DELL simply does not support user configuration of SpeedStep if it's not in the User Manual. There may be something in Control Panel or the BIOS, but if DELL does not tell users about it, no one in their right mind would fuss with it. Do you think DELL would pay round trip shipping if I made my DELL laptop inoperable by changing the RAM timing? Petz
