How to see if turbo boost is working on I7 860 CPU?

How to see if turbo boost is working on I7 860 CPU? I just build myself a new system with a Intel I7 860 CPU. When loading it using a single threaded application like Super PI, CPU-Z shows 2.933Ghz as speed. Now I understood that the I7 goes into turbo boost mode up to 3.46GHz for a single core.

Assuming turbo mode is activated in the BIOS and that you are using a Windows OS, Argus Monitor should tell you when turbo mode is being used.

key word here being "active"... so if two cores are INACTIVE, they're at 0mhz
