Turbo Boost only turns on when the CPU is under load, and only when you're running an application that isn't using all 4 cores. Windows will show your stock CPU clock speed, and won't show your Turbo Boost speed. You can use a program like CPU-Z or CoreTemp to monitor your CPU clock rates, and if you are running a single threaded program, then the core that is active should crank up to the Turbo Boost speed.
