Turbo bumped my 8MHz 386 to sixteen megahertz

It never got switched off, except in some games that a slower CPU made easier (some games back then ran just as fast as the hardware could run them, expecting the computers or turn to be the state of the art) By the time of the machine in the picture unturbo wasn't enough so we used a TSR* program called goSlow to get specific performance

*Terminate, Stay Resident; a program that could run in the background
