CPU Speed Menu

CPU Speed MenuCPU 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 System Preferences, navigating to the Energy Saver pane and selecting the Options 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.

CPU Speed Menu can be used on all Macintosh computers which support manual switching of processor performance. This includes all portable computers with PPC processors, as well as most G5 systems.

CPU Speed Menu is electronically distributed software. You can download the product and test it before you decide to purchase an unrestricted usage license.

End of Life Notice

Distribution of CPU Speed Menu will end on September 1, 2010. Technical support for registered customers will end on September 1, 2011, at the same time when Apple is likely expected to discontinue all hardware support for computers on which using this program makes sense.
