Comment Intel Not Inside (Score 1) 157
Several years ago I bought a 486-DX4 100Mhz Compaq from a MicroCenter store. The box said "Intel Inside" and I never had any problems with performance. However, it didn't take long for 100Mhz to seem underpowered. Taking the cheap way out, I purchased a processor upgrade (unusable, thanks to a Compaq design "feature") and proceeded to remove the old processor. After removing the heatsink, I was surprised to find that it was an AMD 486 100 clone. I didn't have any problem using the AMD, but I just wonder who made the extra $ from that bit(nibble?) of mislabelling.
