while true, BUT: everyone I knew at the time, who had turbo buttons on their systems, told me that it made the computer faster and could lead to the computer breaking if it was left on all the time. So they just had the turbo off :|
I’ve been told this kind of belief was VERY common.
I mean, at the time when turbo buttons were a thing (and I was a kid who didn’t know much about computers yet), I incorrectly thought that too. My own computers never had one though, and I’d like to think that if one had, I would’ve eventually figured out that it worked opposite to how the label implied.
