    True. In fact Turbo buttons go back as far as the early 90's. I just thought it was an interesting touch for MSI to add one to the Wind.

    kinda an easy way to overclock..
    although it is better to do it manually rather than to use the ignite button :D

    A lot like the BIOS OCing for Xtreme Cpus, supported by manufacturers too.
    Still, the "turbo" button is a nice feature, though it works only for the CPU so you would not see a big difference.
