SHOWEXTENDEDPOWERMENU is related to the software support package for Intel's SpeedStep dynamic frequency scaling technology (codenamed Geyserville). Mobile Intel Pentium processors support additional CPU and Throttle states to maximize battery life and optimize performance. The number of CPU states depends on the processor model and maximum frequency.
While the Geyserville daemon (GSVDAEMN.EXE) controls CPU throttling, it is possible to enable the overview of the CPU and throttle states in the Power Object. To control the states overview, the following statement should be used in the CONFIG.SYS file:
SET SHOWEXTENDEDPOWERMENU=<value>
where <value> is one of the following:
- NO - the states overview are disabled, same as no "SET SHOWEXTENDEDPOWERMENU" statement in the CONFIG.SYS; (this is the default option)
- YES - the states overview are enabled.
