With Turbo Boost, does it even pay to overclock for anything but games?

I'm not a big gamer, but use the computer for everything else. Quite a bit of realtime stuff for business that can use the cpu.
Considering Turbo boost seems to work quite well in kicking the mHz from 1500 to 3000 when needed, I wonder how much extra horsepower I'd actually see if I oclocked this i5 to say 3.4 mHz? And would I be turning turbo boost OFF when overclocking?

i think turbo boost increase the clock for your processor from 2.66 to 3.2 but it'll reach that 3.2 only if you use a single core of your processor.
over-clockers usually disable turbo boost and then over-clock the processor manually to have a more consistent and stable system. also get better overall performance .

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

G580 turbo boost does'nt work

Hello
i have i5-3210m processor, but turbo boost not work.
i dont find any turbo boost options in bios.
what can i do?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi kajo6,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Turbo Boost works if the operating system requests the highest performance state of the processor (this is when the CPU reaches 100% CPU Usage)
For Turbo Boost to work, you will need to:
1. Set your power settings set to high performance (click here for instructions)
2. Enable Turbo Boost in the BIOS (if the option is not listed, the motherboard has set this to ON and doesn't allow modification)
3. Have a Turbo Boost Monitor (like Intel Turbo Boost Monitor or Argus Monitor (highly recommended due to simplicity & features)).
Click here to see Turbo Boost in action.
Hope this helps.

I have an Advaned Format WD drive,will it work with Lion?Does Lion even support AF?

I have a "new" mid 2009 MacBook, and I'm replacing everything on it so I can use it for school. I want to use Lion, and decided to get a new hard drive to compliment the upgrade.I ordered a WD Scorpio Black drive...but just realized it had Advanced Format in the description. I noticed alot of reviewers said it worked with their MacBook Pro's, but dont know if they succesfully got AF to work or not...sounds like there would be a serious performance hit if they couldnt get it to work.Does Lion have any way to format the drive in AF?Is it even necessary?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Computer recognizes my ipod but the driver isn't there to support it. I have the same problem with another Ipod touch where there is no driver for windows but this one Does show up on itunes.

I believe what I must do is install a driver but I don't know where the drivers are indexed at in apple. Itunes is up to date, and I am using the USB that came with the Ipod.

Have you tried the driver-related instructions in the following article, Hegel?

My phone went to update to the newest system and it went to restoring itself. It no longer works for anything but "backing itself up", and keeps sending me in circles with restoring it over and over. I have restored it 7 times and I'm tired of doing it.

I went to update my iphone 4s to the new system, and it just went to restore itself? It was just in the process of restoring itself so I had no option of leaving the page or anything. I was forced to restore it. Thats fine, but then it went back to the same restore page that i had no option but to do. ok..I restored it again. and again and 3 more times. It is just going in a circle of restoring for no reason or going anywhere. So now I dont have a phone because it went crazy? hmm Samsung?

Hey Sound!
Have you tried Repairing Permissions? If not, go to your applications folder, then to utilities and the disk utility. Then select "Repair Permissions." After it's done restart and try connecting again.
Hope this helps!

Does it even possible to make an online as2 game?

I've made everything to make my flash as2 client game work online
*Made a java server (Sockets)
*Made a connection between the client and server
Working on LAN perfectly.
*Made a policy server this way:
http://socketpolicyfile.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Installation%20Guide&referringTitle=Ho me
*opened port 843 for the policy server
-Edited the file and allowed the www.domain.com/thegame.swf on the specific port.
Made flash client to get the policy file by adding a line of code:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("xx.xxx…
Launching the game from allowed website and it just doesn't connect to the server...
What do I do wrong? I am already working on this game about a month and can't get it to work online...

A third-party place is less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

What is wrong with Disk Uility? Why doesn't it work for anything I try to do?

So I have been having a lousy time of upgrading my roommates computer. He has a Mac pro mid 2010 (Ill get the exact model # when he comes back) and he asked me to put in 8 GB's of RAM and a 1TB Hard drive. So I thought it would be an easy task, simply swap out the RAM and HDD, copy everything over to the new HD and he'd be all set. Unfortunatly, Disk Uility seems to fail when I do anything!
Please see these two threads:
How do I fix the Disk Utilities error "Could not Restore, Device Not Configured"?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20005646#20005646
New Hard Drive is not recognized internally
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20031279#20031279
These are just TWO of the problems that I have encountered while attempting to do what I stated above. After failing at trying to copy over the files, I attempted to install OS X via the startup manager and it worked and I was even able to use the "Startup manager" to boot into it. But his Mac won't recognize it internally!
Even simply attempting to shrink his old HD's partition encounters the error "The disk could not be unmounted" (and I tried with the single partition mounted, and with it unmounted.
I am a windows guy. If he had had a windows computer I would know 1001 tricks for doing exactly this. I even know enough linux to do this on Ubuntu or CENTOS. But the OS X utilities seem laughable, even worse than the Windows Backup Uility (and I thought that was the worst utility ever!).
So what is the problem here? Is it his whole computer? I am having him return the 1TB HD he purchased to see if that was the cause, but after attempting to shrink his old one and having that fail, I don't know what the heck it could be besides the recovery manager or the computer itself. Disk utility says everything is working great, but I know that can't be right.
Are there some other programs out there that could verify that everything was working ok? I can't even boot up my own recovery OS's via my flash drive on that Mac.
***Side Note: in the "new hard drive..." thread, Grant tells me that OS X doesn't have a default startup disk after I flash the NVRAM, and that I have to specify one. I think this is wrong because After flashing the NVRAM and having the Mac STILL not recognize the new HD, I was able to put the old one in and boot it without having to specify anything.***

Hi DS,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunatly those documents are of no help to me. I have tried several times to boot into the AHT, which didn't work. And attempting to do an internet recovery won't even allow me to log into my wireless network, even though I know the password is correct.Let us try to go through this step by step, as I've been doing.
1) After resetting the NVRAM it still does not see any new hard drive, and I don't need to select the old HD to boot from it. If it is in it works.
Therefore this means that it is
a) not the SATA cable
b) not the new hard drive because my friend got his replacement HD today and I checked them both out. They both work fine on my other friends new macbook pro.
2) The old hard drive can boot up regularly, and the new one can be seen via the SATA to usb connector and booted from, but not via the internal SATA connector.
Also, I still can't boot into Parted Magic, or any other rescue OS I have.
This seems like a very specific problem, and it definatly wasn't anything I did. I followed troubleshooting steps like I normally do and it wasn't a clusterfuck as you so elequently stated.
Please take the time to respond to all of my questions this time, I feel like you are overlooking some very important information.
Thanks,
RFJ3200

IPod mini battery shows empty even after it charged for hours, but works?

i'm new to this, i borrowed someone's iPod mini and when battery ran out i put it to charge to my new macbook, charged for a few hours, lightning bolt showed all the while even if sometimes the indicator showed full and other times it showed that it was charging. now that i've disconnected it, it shows empty but it still works, can anyone help?
I read here http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm that this could happen, that the battery indicator could start showing full after 20 minutes... should i start panicking or not?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi,Emmerx tnx for letting me know about battery charging,i usually dont read manuals,so i didnt know that.,Look here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/How-do-you-create-recovery-disk-with-Yog... maybe this can help you make recovery media. I know its 16GB,but there are alot of places where you can upload it(sky drive,google drive etc),but first you need create recovery media,i know i can order recovery media from lenovo,but maybe still someone be so kind and share their created recovery media for yoga 2 13.

I have an Ipad 2, I recently downloaded IOS 7.0.4, now when I open up Safari to search the internet it will come up for a split second then dissapear and take me back to the home screen. So it wont even let me search for anything.

So can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I cant surf the web because as soon as I click on the Safari icon it will pop up for a split second then dissapear and take me to the Ipad homescreen. This happened when I downloaded the IOS 7.0.4. I have the IPAD 2.

You're on your own. Good luck.

Why does my iPod not prompt me for password but my iPhone does?

They both have iOS 6.1. All my apps are up to date. Then, after a couple days go by, a new update shows up on both devices. I go to iPod Touch (4) to update and no password is required. Then, minutes later, I go to iPhone (4) to update the same app, and it asks me for my password. How come iPod never asks for my password, but my iPhone always does?
Note: I do not use iCloud to update all my devices at the same time. I prefer to do update them myself, one at a time. I am just wondering why one device asks me for password while the other does not.
Thank you for your time!

If you have the original ipod touch, then you can purchase 3.1:
