But did those have Turbo buttons? If so then you were clearly cheating.
- sebcat 12y agoIIRC, "Turbo" was actually the normal clock frequency. Not having turbo-button enabled was mostly for things like games where the game speed was tied to the number of CPU ticks instead of absolute time. Turbo button sounds better than "slow-down-my-PC button".
- nacs 12y agoYou are correct - I was just kidding about the Turbo button. I was actually going to add in a quip about the 486 "DX" with the math coprocessor (vs the SX which didn't have it) being cheating too initially.
