First of all, I own a Toshiba laptop thats running on a Core2 Duo (1.73Ghz) processor. I was wondering what the option in power management called "maximum processor state" is for. Right now it's on 50%. From my understand, that means my processors would only run to a maximum of 50%? Is it ok if it change that option to 100% instead? Will it increase the speed of my laptop? Will it damage my laptop if it do? Or change should I change it to that good? Ok course it would use up more power, but I have no problem with that. Thanks in advanced.

It basically refers to the speed of the CPU.

For example, if the maximum is 50% while on battery, the CPU frequency will be running at 50% normal speed, prolonging battery life at the cost of performance.
