This 2623 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2624 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2625 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2626 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2627 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2628 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2638 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2639 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2640 whenever the CPU becomes idle.
