How do I activate the Turbo Boost?

I have an alienware 17, store says I should be able to boost my cpu to 3.5ghz.

Problem is, I can't seem to get access to the BIOS screen. There's no info on what to press on the boot screen, I tried pressing pretty much every F key but nothing happened.

Any help on this?

    Is there somebody that even reads these forums?

    Yes, we read them, but there are lots of forums on the net. Sometimes it takes a day or so for us to answer a post.

    The Owners Manual should describe how to enter BIOS.

    However, Intel Turbo-Boost activates automatically on-the-fly in Windows as needed. Probably only when connected to AC Power.
