This sounds silly. How or why would a IBM produce different calculations when they both use the same instruction set architecture? And how is a Compaq easier to work with when they're both loaded with the same Windows OS and software?

I had a Compaq in 1997-8 timeframe. It was my first major computer. It was 166mhz, 24mb ram, and I forget the HDD size but it was small enough to where I could only load one major game on it. I found it in the attic and booted it up again and sparks and smoke flew out and it was dead. lol.

@Will-m2t9l ummm no, I remember building PCs back then wasn't as intuitive as it was today. Problem was most of the MB and PSU were garbage and caused the PC to randomly turn off or reset. Then there was the whole jumper bios thing you had to do which was so silly and hard. Today you can buy a much better PSU and MB and get way better performance over any factory built PC.
