Poll: Poll pls: Turbo buttons

[TheMightyTen]

I think it's the el cheapo third party controllers that had it as an option.

Wrong end of the stick (quite literally )

I had a fan assisted oven with a turbo grill.
It was my setting of choice for most cooking.

Not strictly a button though.

you had a turbo knob ?

Ah, I see. The Turbo button I was referring to was on the controller, that allowed you to hold down a button and the controller will report it to the console as mashing the button.

I always hoover on turbo. Why wouldn't you?! Nothing more manly than abusing a turbo button.

I used to run my Turbo on pretty much all the time because I didn't expect to be using the system in X years time anyway (also Quake needed it on to get smooth FPS).

Personally I wish they could be brought back. A manual button to toggle between high performance and balanced/power efficient mode was actually better than letting the O/S do it on whims. I.E If I could have a toggle between stock speed/boost/speedstep and fixed 4+GHz all cores that would be sick.

Just perfect.

I think someone on here has a turbo button on his toaster.

I think turbo was always on, I didn't/don't know if it did anything.

Also my Henry vacuum has a turbo button. I don't know why it exists as it just takes me two buttons to turn it 'on'. Why would anybody say, yes I'd like my vacuum to hoover up less dirt today.

So there is less power when vacuuming over loose lying rugs? There's nothing worse than edge suckage and having to bend down to pull it out........................

Blame it on Europe or iirc there used to be a bypass on the handle to reduce the suction. For some reason it was or is needed. I like a full suck though.

Always on with my Henry Vacuum. Not sure why you'd turn it off

Don't we all

The display showed 99 MHz on my 386. I even briefly kept a straight face when I told some people I had a test sample of a new model of CPU that wasn't on sale yet

The displayed number was determined by jumpers behind it in the case and had no link to actual CPU clock speed. In that particular case it was just for show.

I think I managed about 4 upgrades without changing the display before the wife caught me out
