Best Answer

The main problem is that such computers are way too slow for today's operating systems and applications. Today, the problem isn't so much the clock rate, but the fact that the CPUs used much less efficient instructions and were not multicore like today. The companies could make more efficient computers than what was produced back then if they wanted to, and using that same clock rate. Plus the memory during that time period was very slow.
