@Iszi, regardless of the specific wording of the title, the question is clearly asking for advice on setting them. You have basically hijacked the question to something related but completely different with your bounty. It may have been better to start a separate question asking for technical details about processor states, and leave this question to give information in regards to performance tuning.– SynetechCommented Jun 1, 2012 at 0:01

"Exactly what aspect of the computer's performance are these settings referring to, and what effect do they have when adjusted?" You have changed the original question entirely. Current answers contain more than enough detail for the question in its current form.– MoabCommented Jun 1, 2012 at 2:49

Actually, the current answers are practically useless for Boris (and others who just want to tweak performance/noise/power) because they give "dictionary definitions" that explain the technical, low-level aspects instead of summarizing the real-world effects. It’s like if someone asks how to write a fast for-loop to read a file and getting discussions about big-O notation, disk access times, and such.– SynetechCommented Jun 1, 2012 at 4:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
