hi when they say "with the turbo boost" up to "x ghz" on the dell site for example do they mean you have to press a button to get it up to the boosted speed or will it always be the boosted speed or how does it work?

They're talking about Intel's Turbo Boost tech. that's build into their newer processors. What is means, is that if you're using an application that only uses one core (most games do), then that one core will operate at that increased speed.
