- I service IBM compats, and I usually find that Packard Bell does evoke more
- groans of dismay from service people than most other machines.. (Leading
- Edge seems to be the least favorite, microchannel ones are even worse.)
-
- However.... I own a Packard Bell Legend 386/33 and I am really pleased with it.
- I am not sure when it was made, but it is the only Packard Bell that I have
- seen to date with an all Intel board. 47+ chips in the board are from Intel,
- and the board is clearly marked as being from Intel. What I -don't- know is
- if this is the original board for the machine. (I think it is)
-
- My $0.02
