The Turbo buttons of old did the opposite of what this one is doing.

These turbo buttons are backwards.

Also, do people not just run their overclocks all the time?

It’s backwards or forwards depending on how you wire it. I remember back then our old 386, “button out” was actually Turbo on.

yep. a lot of DOS software (especially games) set their internal timing on the assumption they were running on a 4.77 MHz 8088.
