Hello
RAM and other computer components will degrade after several
years. The accountants called it depreciation of value.
A local company bought dozens of Pentium in 1995 (Windows 95)
In 2000 the PCs are converted to Linux without any problem.
2004: They donate the old PC to charities, they found
that the Linux PCs are not stable (signal 11, segmentation
fault, etc). One of the staff re-installed Windows 95, and
the systems work flawlessly.
According to documents on Internet, the problem is faulty
RAM / memory.
1. Does Windows 95 more tolerant to faulty old hardware?
2. If the company bought AmigaOne or Pegasos in 2004,
what happen in 2014 if the RAM started to fail?
Which OS is more tolerant to hardware failure?

Not much sensible you can say about it really, seeing as not both have their own OS yet...

Refer to early Pentium III ~@1Ghz (i.e. the race to 1Ghz between AMD and Intel) test via Linux kernel recompiling incident.

Huh, could you elaborate?
