Did you sniff the magic blue smoke pouring out of an waaaay overclocked P4?
he first IBM PCs ran at 4.77MHz because that was a cheap Xtal.
The C64 ran at 1 or 2MHz(depending on modus), the Sinclair ZX Spectrum at an blistering 3.5MHz(or was it 4MHz)
The slowest computer I have from that time is probably the Epson HX-20 which had TWO 6301 8bit CPUs clocked at .9MHz
Or was that an attempt at a joke?
