one of the reasons why you wont see much turbo action in most apps...

The task manager shows around 50% CPU utilization or 3 cores,which lines up with AMD's Turbo Core specification that states the Turbo kicks in to 3.6Ghz if <=half the cores are used,meaning 3 cores or 50% of X6 . You get 3.6Ghz for 3 or less cores used,mind you.And you get a very good 3.2Ghz for 4,5 or 6 cores used which guarantees a big speed up over X4 in multithread and/or multitask scenarios.
