    I have a G51jx that I am trying to get Turbo Boost working on. I try to install it and it says that it "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements to install this software".

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks in advance

    Oh turbo boost ya thats just a monitoring program its enabled by default and what he said ^^^^^

    a good way to monitor your speeds and see if its actually working is CPU-Z so you can monitor it and see exactly what its doing when your opening programs up

    I think you have to paypal money to the author, as I said, I haven't used it in a while. It should hopefully be pretty obvious if you read the site and download the shareware version, from what I've heard you have to wait for the author to email you a license code or somesuch.
