Main channel: Is an IBM PC usable at the same clock speed as an Apple II? (Patreon)
Content
Hello my patrons! Here's a video I've been mulling over for ages, and the recent 286 motherboard I worked on presented the perfect opportunity for me to test this.
Can you run a PC at the same clock speed as the Apple II (1mhz) and if you can, is the system even usable to any degree? I have to admit I was kind of surprised by the results! I run some benchmarks and some period correct games on the PC to see if it can even present a somewhat usable experience at the super slow clock speed of just 1Mhz.
As a bonus, I also see how low I can push the clock speeds on this motherboard until it can no longer operate. I was super surprised how slow it could go!
Thanks for everything!
