What did the "turbo" button on 386 and 486 computers actually do?

It basicly triggered a faster FSB thus speeding up the processor and memory a small amount, some pentium machines had them as well, but Intel didn't like the fact that people could have faster machines without paying them more money, so pretty much refused to sell chips to companys that had these buttons installed. Some cheap arse comapnys just wired the button up to the power supply so that the light came on when you pressed it, and that was all that happened  |

Wow, that's a blast from the past! I'd forgotten all about that piece of button crap - Who ever switched them off 'Turbo' mode in the first place! I think most of our PCs at school had them  |

You arrived to the party a year late, but at least you managed to paraphrase what Matt said into a handy, less funny four line version.
