[rahull]

hi everyone just got my first laptop its a refurbished lenovo v570 with an intel core I5 2450m 2.5 ghz with turbo boost upto 3.0 ghz (i think) does anyone know how to use the turbo boost technology thanx in advance

it is automatic...depending on the load of the cpu it will automatically clock itself higher.....if you have once core active it will boost all the way up to 3ghz

Here is a nice little tool that can show you when turbo boost is running and how much performance you are getting from it. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19105
