Turbo Boost is supposed to be controlled by the OS, and there is a lot of noise about it not working at all with linux. Has anyone here running linux verified that Turbo Boost actually works?

AMD uses TurboCore, but I disable it on my boards and just up the clock a couple hundred MHz. YMMV, make sure you have enough cooling if you do this.

In the end, I don't think it is really going to make much difference one way or another. A 4-8% cpu boost is nothing to get excited over, and IMNSHO isn't going to be noticeable by the players.

Would Intel's Turbo Boost negatively affect server performance?

P.S. Intel Turbo Boost is a built-in feature of certain processors that dynamically overclocks the base frequency of the processor (eg. going from 3.50Ghz to 3.80Ghz) during periods of high load. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost
