2.9GHz is only when its running 1 cores..
When it runs 4 cores, it will run 1.8ghz....

Well, that is what TurboBoost is about...

If you want 2.9GHz on 4 cores, get C2Q QX9300 and overclock it...

Because Turbo Boost is not only limited to overclocking one core, but it can be done to 2 cores as well....

For i7 720QM, its 1/1/6/9 with base multiplier 12x means it will have multiplier 12x for 4 and 3 cores, 18x for 2 cores and 21x for 1 cores...
since SC2 only use 2 cores, it will run 18x 133MHz = 2.4GHz...

as for i7 840QM, its 2/2/8/10 with base 14x and i7 940XM, its 2/2/8/9 with base 16x....

The extra multiplier for 4cores/3cores/2cores/1cores
In i7 720QM 2 cores case, base is 12 + 6 = 18 x 133MHz = 2.4GHz...

They will change the whole lcd if they do come fix it...
