i got 2of these m218 mobos

i was trying to get the turbo button working... guess what.. it is a keyboard combo!!

CTRL+ALT+(Keypad +) for turbo
CTRL+ALT+(Keypad -) for slower

i did discover this xD

in case someone needs to know!

i was worried there was something wrong with these mobos!
it was just a key combo!
