Federico Mena QuinteroBoost if your first PC had a Turbo button.
h@federicomena The first PC I bought with my own money had one. The first PCs I used didn't.
Persephone Jane Monstertruck@federicomena I remember it being there, but I don't remember it being useful in any way, shape, or form.
Keiya@federicomena I want to build a little drive bay device that just has a turbo button on it so I can stick it in my modern computer. Wouldn't do jack of course, but by the time I was around the OS was able to override it anyway.
Jamey Sharp@federicomena I think my first PC was before turbo buttons? I did have a turbo button at some point, though.
Henry Edward Hardy
Max Kaehn@federicomena My second one did.
niconiconi [MOVED]@federicomena One should start a project putting a modern ATX mobo into one of these chassis, and use the Turbo Button to enable/disable Turbo Boost. Just connect the button to one of the GPIO input.

Boost if you’re old, you mean? Geez, turbo buttons are gone for decades now…

Mark Shane Hayden@federicomena CP/M computers didn't have turbo buttons.
But I still use a PC with a turbo button, though now it is just a decoration because the board in that case has no connector for it. It is a very early ATX case but very serviceable so I don't want to part with it.
Sleepy Little Fluff@federicomena whether speaking of the Apple or the IBM my first two PCs predated turbo buttons.
N@federicomena Bah, I had a ZX Spectrum 🌈
Marcin Cieślak@federicomena nope, jumpers.
[tj] on repeat@federicomena Wouldn't pressing the boost button slow mastodon down?
vollkorn (DECT 5676/"korn")@federicomena @tsia Not counting my Apple ][ as a PC ;)
Rob Flickenger ⚡@federicomena Does it count if my third PC had turbo?
Robert Jung - Film Composer ✅@federicomena it didn't. it had a built-in midi-out, could read DD-disks and had the coolest function keys ever tho
