During a dull period of the day, I performed the following experiment:
0) Get 2 PC's close to each other.
1) Start up the silly music sample programs that come with the PC.
2) Start the Blue Danube Waltz on both, at the same time.
I found that by the end of the "music", one PC was about 5 seconds
behind the other.
Both PC's are XT's. The only difference is that one has an IBM color display,
and the other a monochrome display. The slower one had the monochrome
display.
So...
1) why is one PC slower than the other ?
2) have I discovered a new method of PC benchmarking ?
