Hey dingus, just where exactly in my post did I say processor performance? I said "highest performance", which if you'll look, is NOT an option for the processor. You can set the "Processor Performance: Highest" but you CANNOT set "Processor Performance: Highest Performance". When I said highest performance I was referring to setting "Optimize Energy Settings: Highest Performance" as I thought was clear by referring to the HARD DISK dying, not the processor! Perhaps I should have dumbed down my message to account for the Homo Erectus on the Macrumors forum like yourself. If it was unclear, then you should be polite and explain why you disagree but there is absolutely no reason for you to act like an ******. Grow up!
And that goes for you too auxplage.
The settings you are referring to are only available on laptops, i.e. systems with a battery. They're battery life profiles, and they certainly do have something to do with the processor, whether you mentioned it or not. The "Put the disk to sleep whenever possible" check box and "Processor Performance" options are also available on all G5 systems, although they don't have the setting to which you referred, since they don't have a battery. The G4 desktops don't have the setting you mentioned or the "Processor Performance" options.
Since the only system specifically noted in the thread was an iMac G5, I'm not quite sure where your assumption that the discussion was laptop- specific comes into play. At the very least, it might help to mention that fact in your post.
And thank you very much, I'm fully grown and then some.
