do you actualy need to instal that rubo boost (2.0) program to get that turbo boost? Or is that just a visual program?

[chrisangelini]

@EliteGhost001 It's a hardware-based feature that's enabled unless you manually disable it.

I bought AMD. It has 4 physical cores (like the i7) but it only cost me $90!

[Collective11011]

I curently have an Q8400 @3,2 but my next cpu will be a Phenom II 1090.

Intel is ok but too expensive for me. Amd is the way to go-.-
