That’s not how a turbo button works, it doesn’t make the pc “go faster” [1] :)
Either you had a 486@66Mhz, or you set your multiplier to 2x instead of just pressing the turbo button.
[1] I mean, you could by default power your pc with turbo in “slow mode”, and activate it for hyperspeed, but you’re still using a 66Mhz CPU that is being normally slowed down
I know the chip was a 66mhz chip. Without the button pressed, it was useless. I also know this was about CPU timing. Having it "on" slowed down the timing. But having it on (to slow the CPU timing) and trying to overclock the CPU (to make it faster), resulted in nothing more than a few fps. After the upgrade to Pentium, it was 60fps.
The turbo button is a 3-pin switch. Some wired it so that "off" was full-speed. Some wired it the other way. I believe mine were wired for "on" = fullspeed.
