why don't we have turbo buttons on pcs anymore

this is a travesty

pc gotta go fast

@Nine i mean its funny cuz turbo buttons did the opposite of what the name suggests

@pup_hime oh heck I am definitely up for learning some truth about turbo buttons. *bounces excitely* tell me more please??

@Nine oh well all they did was slow down the cpu clock to let you run programs that would run too fast on a newer model

@pup_hime oh my gosh

holy crap

that's AMZING. That's so friggin daft and absolutely a marketing ploy like "shit we can't sell this if we tell the truth, let's say it's a TURBO button and that it's getting double the speed of the computer!"
