    My system is a T410s with Integrated Graphics, 6 GB ram, 80 GB Intel G2 SSD, AKE USB 3.0 Expresscard, and running Windows Professional 7 - 64 bit.

    Should Intel Turbo Boost Technogoly be Enable or Disabled? When I looked in Power Manager recently, I noticed it said that it was enabled.

    If I should Disable Intel Turbo Boost Technology, how do I do it?

    Thanks!

    Turbo boost helps improve cpu power and speed, don't disable it. It is completely independent of an ssd and you only loose performance with it off.

    Thank you for your quick reply and advice. I will leave Intel Turbo Boost as being enabled.

    Jay,

    Turbo boost doesn't have a significant performance gain.

    I think you are in the mental trap I fell into which was to think of Turbo Memory, not Turbo Boost, as initially I almost posted the same.

    Turbo Boost allows the CPU to overclock. Turbo Memory was that silly flash disk buffer that I completely agree, doesn't have a significant performance gain and it's better to let the SSD do it's stuff without another buffer layer in there.
