    What does the Turbo Boost Technology software (downloadable at station-drivers.com) do? Is it necessary for Win7?

    Best Turbo-boost "changer" is the EVGA E-Leet tuning utility based off CPU-Z you can download it here but no, the software you referenced is not needed for windows or any OS it is BIOS implemented :)

    Oh ok. But what does that turbo boost technology software do (the one from station-drivers)? And what does the EVGA E-leet tuning utility "changes"?

    no idea what it does but the EVGA E-Leet one allows you to change the default turbo boost multipliers for an unlocked i7 CPU to allow the CPU to self-OC when needed

    That's the important part.. For eample, I could not use the E-Leet utility with my 820QM. :(

    I hope it is unlocked. But this is the final ES, so I think it would be unlocked, I hope so :)
