Hey!  I didn't cross-post to port-i386!

Actually, I suspect that practically anything not an i386 will.  Most
of my machines are suns, and they certainly just keep on ticking....

But the klone makers mean that most i386 hardware has corners cut
everywhere possible, since most buyers aren't interested in paying
extra for quality when a cheaply-made machine can be had cheap.  (I've
seen high-quality x86 boxen, but not often.)
