Is turbo boot boost the same as turbo mode for the cpu?

I wouldn't think so, no. One says "boot" in it, so maybe its a quick boot... what does your manual say?

Click to expand...

This item allows you to select the CPU performance state during system boot before the OS takes control. The CPU runs at a selected performance ratio based on CPU config.
I left it at Max Non Turbo Performance.

I notice there really not that much to gain with OC, looks like the CPU jumps up to 3.8ghz with a load on it. I been out of touch with the newer stuff but looks like you get a lot more bang for less power with these CPU's of today. Next will be upgrading my video from a GT240..maybe I don't play any games so that card may still be plenty good.

If you're not gaming, or using GPU accelrated applications, even the integrated GPU is sufficent for most uses.
