I am looking at
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8279336&CatId=4935
its CPU is a I5-4200U which runs at 1.6Ghz normaly and a boost of 2.6Ghz what I need to know is will it run at that 2.6 while gaming or is the boost thing only a temp thing I need to know this because one of the few things I want to do on the laptop req a 2.0Ghz cpu

otherwise this laptop seems to be very good as it has all the power I need in other places
