topic Power settings and performance? in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/power-settings-and-performance/m-p/98024#M65413 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I recently purchased a FZ-21E but considering that I was moving from an old Celeron-powered machine on its last legs to a machine with a Core2Duo processor with 2GHz and 2GB of RAM, I was expecting outstanding performance. I was so disappointed with the performance that I turned off the graphic features to go back to Basic. <BR /><BR />Then I realised that the default power plan is "Power Saver". With some of the CPU-intensive music-editing programmes I use, it made a massive difference to switch to the "High Performance" setting. Do people usually run their laptop on Power Saver even when plugged in? <BR /><BR />Thanks.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 25 Dec 2007 02:38:26 GMT gregismoney 2007-12-25T02:38:26Z Power settings and performance? https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/power-settings-and-performance/m-p/98024#M65413 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I recently purchased a FZ-21E but considering that I was moving from an old Celeron-powered machine on its last legs to a machine with a Core2Duo processor with 2GHz and 2GB of RAM, I was expecting outstanding performance.
