Where did you read that? Turbo boost should work with any motherboard chipset, including H61.
Quote:Also, i5 2500 w/ gts 450 or i5 2400 w/ gtx 550 ti? Random nitpick.
I would go with the i5 2400 + GTX 550 Ti + H61

I believe it was tomshardware.
Why? Does turbo make any difference?
(Yeah, EVGA gtx 550 ti.)
Managed to pay for the 4gb ram on my own means.(It's just sitting there, in my dresser.)
That adds $20, so I'm using it to get one of the nicest 550's available.

Find me where they stated that if you can. I won't believe it until I see it since everything I have read suggests otherwise.
Turbo boost does make a difference, it allows your cpu to boost its clock rate frequency by several hundred megahertz, usually a 10% increase.

Doy!
It wasn't tomshardware...
It was this site.

"For what it's worth, P67 isn't just about letting you overclock the processor yourself. The same processor will more aggressively use turbo boost (even at stock settings) with a P67 chipset than H61. A Core i5 2500 with a P67 chipset will clock all four cores up to 3.7 GHz indefinitely, and a single core as high as 4.1 GHz for short periods of time, if the temperatures and current draw are safe. The same processor with an H67 chipset won't push a single core past 3.6 GHz, even if only one core is being used much. I don't know if H61 is identical to H67 in that regard; it might be more conservative yet. Take away the more aggressive turbo boost and Sandy Bridge loses quite a bit of its advantage--especially compared to Bulldozer."
actually that site probably trying to refer to intel's limited overclock scheme when pairing P67 with non K-series sandy bridge (that has turbo boost, basicly i5 and i7)
when using p67, you can add 4 bin to CPU turbo ratio multiplier
while on H61/H67, you'll only get normal turbo boost
2500 stock (all board)
base frequency 3.3GHz
turbo 4 core 3.4GHz
turbo 3 core 3.5GHz
turbo 2 core 3.6GHz
turbo 1 core 3.7 GHz
2500 stock (P67 with limited OC scheme)
base frequency 3.3GHz
turbo 4 core 3.8GHz
turbo 3 core 3.9GHz
turbo 2 core 4.0GHz
turbo 1 core 4.1 GHz
while using P67 and K-series, you'll be able to change turbo ratio as high as 57x on all 4 core

And then he goes on to recommend an E-350 lol.
These claims are pointless unless he can provide a source to back up what he said. Or like setya said he might be referring to the limited OC scheme and might be confused (or maybe he misspoke).

That is all kinds of relieving.
I only asked because 3.4 ghz is da place ta be!
Just a bit afraid that this mobo wouldn't fully use the CPU. (Or that it might nuke itself!)
with normal turbo boost, 2400 only achieve 3.4GHz with a single core (single heavy thread), on normal/daily usage (and dolphin) you'll end up with 3.1-3.2GHz in most case (this is mostly enough for dolphin, even when using DSP LLE)
but on P67 and limited OC, you should get 3.5GHz turbo on 4 core and single core turbo up tp 3.8GHz

Be that as it may, I think I'll be just fine.
(My current PC can't run ANYTHING in dolphin. No joke, not even 2d games run higher than 10-15 fps at 300x200.)
I just wondered, what is the difference between 4x scaing and 4x ssaa?
Aren't they both technically Supersampling? (Forcing a larger resolution down to a smaller one, which only works because most GCN/Wii games aren't all that graphically demanding.)

Scaling is how big the internal resolution is.(The bigger the IR,the clearer the picture looks.)SSAA is a form of antialiasing.
