Everyone remember the infamous turbo button that never seemed to do anything? Intel 386 for the win.
Because @ that time everyone thought that button was used to speed up things. We were wrong
- turbo button was used to slowdown cpu.

Well I just learned something new. Thanks for that @darwin
Lotus123 2.2 WYSIWYG
Those servers were used for hosting services :-)
I don't recall the exact cpu we had but I remember the first PC my family got(when i was like 4 or 5?? I'm 21 now) was a whitebox that my dad paid an arm and leg for($2000+ i think). Had a 13 or 14" CRT that is still kicking around somewhere(that i tried to mod into a projector.. so i think it still has a few of the images reversed..that didn't work..another story)
Had the turbo button and a little LED display on the front that was 133 in on position and 33 in the other. Not sure if that was the mhz or not and if it did anything at all or if someone just hooked the wires up to manually turn the extra LED's on. I think it my have had 64mb of ram? and I think a sub 1Gb HDD, 3.5" floppy and windows 95. Had that all the way up until I think 2001 or 2 then got a P4(must have been 2002 it has XP as it was purchased in January of what ever year and xp came out in september 2001) Had dial up on that thing.. remember downloading service packs on that....
My life is a lie
