Pre overclocked

[AJReading]

Hi guys,

Just built my new system and gave an overclocked bundle a try. I've never tired overclocking so this is all new to me.

This is what i got: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-OB&tool=3

I've paid for it to be overclocked to 4Ghz but it shows as 3.8 in bios and other apps. Now, people on the reviews for this bundle say there is a reason it shows at 3.8 (somthing about turbo?) would anyone mind letting me know what thats all about?

I'm new to overclocking so sorry if its a dumb question

Thanks

Turbo increases the cpu multiplier to 21x ( normaly 20x) when under stress to obtain a performance boost.
