Will 2.5 gig processor (i7) with turbo boost to 3.5 run graphics programs that requires 3.0? Looking at a laptop that states it has a 3.5 gig i7 processor, but when checked the stats in computer info, it stated 2.5 so returned it. Now they say it will turbo to 3.5 (still thinking it's a bit off not to state this in specs), but wondering if I should repurchase. Thanks!

The laptop will work in turbo boost if needed. Turbo mode is something where if a program exceeds a certain clock(in this case 2.5ghz) it will go higher to 3.5ghz so the workload is lightened
