With the turbo button 33 -> 66 ? Man, that's a proper collector :)
Normally turbo button was only effective for 468DX/586DX type
of machines, not for pentium IIRC.
you likely mean 486/586 and alas 586 machines are called pentium
there's a difference between pentium and pentium MMX though, even though i
recall there are even pentium MMX's who had a turbo button...
if it was really effective of not, that's another matter entirely...
Whoops, yes 486dx/586dx. 586 machines are not necessarily only
pentiums, even if the majority only knows pentium machines as 586.
AMD and Cyrix at that time produced also 586 cpus, and couldn't
call those pentium because that's a trademark.
Also the turbo button was more tied to the case, and not to the processor.
But that's getting too much offtopic ...
