Do you think that if I make it switch my PSU from 110v to 220v that it will have the desired "boost" effect? :huh:

I did that :P, can't say i saw much of a speed increase though.

I always wondered what the turbo button was, it didn't seem to do anything on my old comp.

As for a 33MHz computer, you could run some older distros of linux with graphics turned off, i haven't figured out why you'd want to, perhaps as a router or a print server or a calculator? :blink:

Clocker, what are you thinking of?

Forget the turbo button, go for nitrous oxide. :eek:
If it doesn't work, at least you can have a laugh about it.

:lol:

A man after my own heart.

I'll have to safety wire my CPU and RAM right away.

nitrous oxide, eh?

how bout liquid nitrogen?

even better, get a mini fridge and put the PC in that&#33; (@ GCN, who hasnt posted in a while)

where is GCN anyway?

didn&#39;t KITT have a "turbo" button...?

:-"

p.s. use the comp as a router, as was already suggested

...or beat the sh*t out of it, as was already sugested :)

I had an old 33Mhz aptiva, win95, with ran pretty smooth btw.

I got hold of a couple of old 100Mhz processors though, installed an overdrive one on it, so it&#39;s no longer a 33 MHz.

I was/am going to install linux, if I can find two network cards that fit, thataway I can turn it into a firewall. It&#39;s the best non-dstructive idea I&#39;ve got. :)

"best non-destructive idea i&#39;ve got"


I would personally use it as a test rig for old hardware, and maybe as a basic server to put my stuff on, with upgraded hard drives

Has this been suggested ?

you could sell that baby on eBay as a "Near Mint Turbo Doorstop **RARE** No Reserve&#33;&#33; L@@K." either that or Turbo Paperweight.

Do some EXTREME modding to the cpu
