I’ve gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC

The “turbo” button switches the cpu speed from its native speed to half of it but it wont boost speeds beyond what it was originally intended.

That’s how it was supposed to work.
But apparently you could wire it either way, so some people made turbo actually mean “turbo” instead of “slow”.
Which I think was going on with mine since it got louder, but it’s been literally decades
You can wire it that way, I do, but it doesnt mean you are making the cpu go faster than what the label says. You are still switching between normal speed and half speed, it just feels better.
