-If you are using a windows 7 host, Ubuntu won't care about TB. Windows 7 will manage everything just fine. In fact, you could run good 'ol MS- DOS 5.0 in VBox and turbo boost will work on in your VM.
-Here is an easy way to find out if turbo-boost is actually working (in a real world scenario)... sudo apt-get install hardinfo && hardinfo Run CPU N-Queens. The result for my turbo-boosted (properly working 2.6.32 kernel) is about 0.88 sec. When I run CPU N-Queens on the "stock" 2.6.31 Kernel the result is over 2 seconds. (N-Queens is a single threaded benchmark). (A new menu entry should show up under "System Tools" called "System Profiler and Benchmark". (Just in-case you would like to re-run the program in the future.)) Just as a reference, I have an I720 1.6 GHz; 2.8 w/ Turbo. -- core i7 i5 (Lynnfield) turbo boost not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
