Reminds me of one of my first PCs that had a “Turbo Boost” button on the front with a little light that went on and was supposed to speed your CPU up to 11 mhz or something. Of course as soon as we unboxed the thing, we pressed that button and left it on forever!

Turbo boost played a role for gaming, as many earlier games were not CPU speed independent enough to be playable on a machine much faster than it was programmed for.
