It depends on the main board jumper if the clockrate was set to high on open then it slowed it down if not then it increased the speed when the turbo switch was enabled (closed).
It basically gave you anywhere from 50% to 100% increase in CPU speed at the time.
That said for most people it would probably have done nothing since the turbo button was available on cases till the mid 90’s where it did nothing and often wasn’t even connected.
I had one on my MMX pentium PC but it did absolutely squat.
