How old were you when you discovered that the MHz display next to the turbo button was a lie?
>>109690017It's not a lie if set-up correctly.
>>109690017>not configuring it to show FT and SL
>>109690132FA*
why don't they make turbo buttons anymore? would help more people play graphically intensive games
>>109690156haha you're funny
>>109690156They traded them for rgbtq+ bing-bing-wahoo lights
>>109690156The turbo button set the computer to a SLOWER mode, for compatibility: some very old programs from the early DOS era were tied to the speed of older CPUs, and would run too fast on newer ones. That's pointless now, because all modern programs correctly separate logic from cycles.
>>109691528There was no standard though, some ran at native speed when turbo was on, others while it was off or vice versa.
>>109691536Regardless, that was the purpose. Because otherwise, why would you ever want a slower PC?
>>109690017>>109691528I feel bad for people who had to grow up with x86 / Wintel / PC-Compatible shit.
>>109691574What did you have then? Mac, Amiga?
>>109691615Both and a PC.
>>109691574I feel bad for tranime morons with no future like you.
>>109691574>>109693245>t. nepo baby
>>109693248But I'm already living my future. >>109693255Actually it was rich relatives living abroad who upgraded often and used to offload their tech shit to our family.
>excuses start ok nepo baby
>>109690017I never once my whole teenage years wondered what that number meant. And I don’t push buttons if I don’t know what it does.
>>109691528>all modern programs correctly separate logic from cyclesgreat optimism
>>109691528Your fucking button was wired backwards.
>>109691528so it wasn't a TURBO button but rather a RETARD button
>>109693716They correctly separate logic from cycles, but not always from frames per second
>>109693612>I don’t push buttons if i don’t know what they doLive a little man just go for it
>>109691528Pretty sure mine was faster when the turbo button was on
