    Got it..ok 4.2 Gigs on Air and stable

    This is using the 'SpeedStep/ Turbo Mode"...(of course).....


    The batch is from the 3838A series..I know some folks have been only able to get this one to 3.8 or 3.9 max

    Keep in mind this is on air..and nope , my load temps are not 70C or 80C or 60C..which for me is unacceptable.

    Some reviews seem to state that "Turbo Mode" offers very little improvements..I disagree...also this function is interesting because when idle, the CPU is clocked at 2.4 Ghz... so when not in use the CPU is not pushing wattage......very cool

    Cheers, JRM /Hermes
