    Please check this thread

    and let us know your findings and thoughts.

    Does anyone have the Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver listed in Device Manager ?? Or the Power Manager for this matter.

    I dont have either! But Intel turbo boost gadget shows the blue bar bouncing in well above my clock speed which is at 1.73 (1.60 for some of you)...

    I have the W510 and do not see the driver or the indicator in Power Manager... however with the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Monitor the speeds have pass 2GHz under light load. Shouldn't need to put it under load to achieve this do you?
