I believe I found it, here: https://www.elhvb.com/webhq/models/pcchips/m520.htm

I'll attach the pictures I took for verification. I just want to know if I can wire up my turbo button to cut the mhz when it's pressed. I have a pentium 120 in it currently, I'd like to be able to cut it to 66 or 60 mhz. If this can be done, please tell me how. If it cannot, that is fine too. Thank you for your time and all your help.

2.) Windows 98 SE, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.1ghz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb, Sound Blaster Live! Value

Nope, based on BIOS it's a FuguTech M506 motherboard. http://th2chips.freeservers.com/m507/index.html

If it isn't possible, can anyone recommend a good similar motherboard that WILL let me use my turbo button/LED/MHz display on the front of the case?

And yes, my case needs a thorough cleaning.

I personally do not know of any Pentium boards that have a Turbo button header but this topic here may be of use:
Turbo button on Pentium systems

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Thank you, that's interesting. I'll have to see if there's a bios setting or keyboard command to slow it down. Thanks!
