    For fun be sure you guys download/install the Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor...

    We can see the processor speed varying in real-time.
    Also we can select a Medium or Small box (the default is like a giant window/box)
    After a few weeks when we get tired of it we can uninstall it :)

    If i want to see the multipliers, i normally use throttlestop, less newb friendly, but gives a lot more info. Having a second monitor to see it just by taking a quick glance at the second monitor helps a lot too.
