Vista power scheme

[BoardBabe]

Running on laptop I normally use the "power saving" mode by clicking tray icon. Does this apply ONLY on battery or also on AC? Meaning if I select "power savin", will performance be reduced also on AC or only when i disconnect the power cord?

I think, as standard, it also reduces power when plugged in. You can however change this setting in advanced power options.

What I use is full power is where AC/DC both use maximum power, balance is Max on AC/Min on DC and power saver as min on AC/DC. (AC=Mains, DC=Battery).

Have a look in advanced options - there is a lot of custom tweaking to be done!
