Age of Empires III requires a 1400 MHz (1.4 Ghz) processor. This computer appears to have only a 800 MHz (0.8 GHz) processor installed. If you wish to upgrade your computer, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance. This warning may appear on certain processors that dynamically reduce processor speed to save power (such as a notebook running on batteries). You may wish to consult your manufacturer for help on configuring your processor for maximum performance.

Ths is what it says and i don't know how to quit saving power and get the perforance

Can you verify the exact Dell model?

For example the model I mentioned above has an extensive section on Power Management in the manual:
