Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is a new feature incorporated in Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture (Nehalem) based processors.

This technology enables higher performance through the availability of increased core frequency under some configurations and workloads.

If the processor cores are operating below power, temperature and current specification limits, this technology allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency.

It can be engaged with any number of cores or logical processors enabled and active which produces increased performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is available only on supported processor versions including the Intel Core i7.

With this technology, the processor is capable of maximizing core frequency while ensuring that it doesn’t exceed its electrical and thermal specifications.

It is also possible to contain a set-up option in BIOS to enable or disable the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.  For ACPI operating systems, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is supported.

PStart is a useful small utility which works like a secondary start menu for user-defined applications.

Besides opening programs, you can also use PStart to open important folders or specific frequently used documents.

The special thing about PStart is that it uses relative paths when installed as a portable application, and this difference sets it apart from Windows shortcuts. Read the rest of this entry →
