computerboy:
Sleek

computerboy:
still available

computerboy:
let's deal

Oluwaseunsodiq:
Maybe for gta5 alone, and besides it requires mods which causes the game to run on extremely low settings. Dedicated graphics is not a bad idea.

People wey fit sell @ a loss because of turnover and incentives

computerboy:
Just one remaining. Call now to get it at promo price

computerboy:
check this out

computerboy:
Just one remaining who's the owner?

Stormyweather:
what's your last price?

computerboy:
over 4hrs battery

herveze:
U don't even know aw to copy and paste

Nduxx:
But it's possible abi?

Lexusgs430:
From my lame knowledge of computers, upgrade is very possible. You would simply have to buy another laptop with either an i3,i5 or i7.

Kingsasian:
Thanks op for the info. My question is this, is the turbo boost an app?

Nduxx:
Is it any type of system that can be upgrade ? Can you upgrade an Intel Core 2 Duo to Intel Core i3,i5 or i7? Or is there any requirement?

This Yemi, the guy who called some days back. Don't forget to update me when you receive your new stock this week.

WHAT IS CLOCK SPEED?
Simply put, the GHz figure you'll see represents the number of clock cycles (calculations) a processor can manage in a second. For example, 3.6GHz means 3,600,000,000 clock cycles in a second. This figure should never be used to compare processors from different families, generations or manufacturers, however. And most importantly, Bigger is not always better. This is where turbo boost comes in

WHAT IS TURBO BOOST

https://cdn.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/intelturboboost.jpg?b34c28

Turbo Boost is a technology introduced by Intel to dynamically increase the clock speed of processors when more power is required. This means that the chip can draw less power, produce less heat (most of the time) and only boost when it needs to.

Turbo Boost means that the clock frequency figures written on the box of your laptop is misleading. For example, you'll think a Core i3 processor with clock speed of 2.5GHz will be faster than the core i5 with clock speed of 1.80GHz with turbo boost up to 2.80GHz because Intel still advertises their laptops in base speeds which means, on the box of the core i5, it'll be written 1.80GHz only.

HOW DOES TURBO BOOST WORK?
Intel Turbo Boost monitors the current usage of a processor to determine how close the processor is to the maximum thermal design power, or TDP. The TDP is the maximum amount of power the processor is supposed to use. If the processor sees that it is operating well within limits, Turbo Boost kicks in.

Turbo Boost is a dynamic feature. There is no set-in-stone speed which the processor will reach when in Turbo Boost. Turbo Boost operates in 133Mhz increments and will scale up until it either reaches the maximum Turbo Boost allowed (which is determined by the model of processor) or until it balances your current work load on the processor. For example, the Core i5 with a base clock speed of 1.80GHz, if given a higher work load, will continue to increase by 133Mhz till it balances the work load or till it reaches the maximum turbo boost (2.80GHz).

AMD's RESPONSE
It'll be worthy to note that with the release of the six-core AMD processors, such as the Phenom II X6 1090T, AMD has introduced a similar feature called Turbo Core. Turbo Core isn’t as advanced as Intel’s Turbo Boost, but it is a clear sign of the direction processors will be taking in the future as the feature seemed to have improved greatly with the AMD A-series processors.

WHY TURBO BOOST ROCKS
Despite Turbo Boost’s lack of predictability, it is still an excellent feature. It provides a solution to the problem of compromising between a powerful PC that generates heat with a short battery life and an average PC with less heat and long battery life. With turbo boost, you can get both in one PC. For example the core i5 processor mentioned above will continue to operate with a speed of 1.80GHz, using less power and generating less heat. It will only increase when the processor demands and will go down immediately the work load reduces.

MY ADVICE
If you are buying a PC for the processing power, always go for the ones with low base clock speed but high turbo boost than going for the ones with a standard high clock speed. For example go with the one of 1.80GHz with turbo boost up to 2.80GHz than going for the one with a standard 2.5GHz.

The one with 1.80GHz will save power and generate less heat and will only increase speed if needed. You wouldn't want your laptop to be running at 2.5GHz while you're just watching a movie or typing a document.

So if i download it on my pc, doubleclick on d file, it will just install like every file?

rawdpiper:
Intel core i5 4th/5th gen @ 2.4-2.6 GHz

Which is better for gaming? And how much could each one cost? Anticipating u guys reply!
