Windows Vista: Adjust Power Settings

Here you can change your power settings to better suit your needs. When running on battery power it is very important to use power savings options in order to obtain the best battery life. This is generally good on long trips taken using planes, trains and automobiles where a ready power source is not always readily available. High Performance will deplete battery life if you are on battery power, but will improve performance exponentially. Adjust them according to your needs, internet surfing and simple word document editing don’t require high performance settings. Use of image editing software would probably be one of the times High Performance will benefit you.
