CPU Speed Menu allows you to switch between the different performance settings of your computer by a single mouse click. It is no longer necessary to open <i>System Preferences</i>, navigating to the <i>Energy Saver</i> pane and selecting the <i>Options</i> item. This is helpful for users who must switch between different speed settings very often, for example when temporarily performing processor-intensive tasks. Switching manually to a speed which meets your current needs best can improve battery load on portable computers, or avoid noise problems with cooling fans and power supply units on desktop computers.<br />
<strong>CPU Speed Menu can be used on all Macintosh computers which support manual switching of processor performance. </strong>This includes all portable computers with PPC processors, as well as most G5 systems.
