why wouldn't people use turbo all the time? why even give that option, just have it go fast alwaysDomainerResource.com

Turbo simply simply slowed the processor by roughly half (when it was off). Lots of software back in the day didn't look at processor speed, so would run waaay too fast.. think about games, etc.. I had a flight sim that ran great at 8khz but was totally retarded at 16. Yep.. 8 and 16.. what fun!Comment

Hell yes!
I made my digital megahertz display read "69" too

what were they thinking when they built those?
it looked all cool to me, when i only had an amiga 500.. when i got the PC, realized it was just BS..
turbo mode is actually regular speed, and u turn it off for application that run 'too fast' i thinkComment

My 286/16 had one, it was supa-dupa fast. My friend had a 286/12 and he was very jealous of me.Free agentComment

I remember buying my first pc and the salesman telling me go with the 30 mb harddrive you will never fill it up. lol I miss my leading edge word processing program it rocked lol.Comment

Yep and no matter how fast I pushed that turbo button the computer was still too slow.Comment

I wouldn't mind a turbo button these days... unless I'm doing video encoding my CPU is probably idle most of the time. I don't need full power to surf GFY.

Still got a 486 at the office that I use to run legacy scripts which has the turbo button.
