Whoops, yes 486dx/586dx. 586 machines are not necessarily only
pentiums, even if the majority only knows pentium machines as 586.
AMD and Cyrix at that time produced also 586 cpus, and couldn't
call those pentium because that's a trademark.

Also the turbo button was more tied to the case, and not to the processor.
But that's getting too much offtopic ...
