I got a Compaq years ago. Ended-up removing all the Compaq junk. Gutted the thing & re-made it. Has that STUPID low-voltage thing.
It is now PC #3.

It also came with an AMD processor 'rated' at 366 Mhz. Turned-out to be 250 Mhz.

AMD will NEVER get the chance to burn me again.

What's with this ...

Years ago I got a 366 Mhz Compaq w/ AMD processor. was a good price.

Ran a diagnostic & learned it was actually a 250 Mhz, but 'rated' at 366 Mhz.

Stayed away from AMD ever since. AMD has long since lost their Credibility.

AMD will NEVER get the chance to burn me again.
