    This was back in 2000 or 2001.
    So I had a Celeron 400 at the time and I had it OC'ed to 500 to get the max performance.
    But at 500 if would lock up within 10 mins cos cooling was insufficeint. So i would open up the case and point a table fan at the mobo to cool it and this did the trick.

    Soon i needed to sell it and made a nice sexy ad and posted it at Monash Uni notice boards.
    In the ad i said it was a Celeron 500 and not 400 so I could charge more 😅

    Soon I got a lot of calls from gooks.
    One set of gooks from Vietnam turned up and inspected it and checked the Windows Info and it said Celeron 500 and they believed it and paid and took it home. (Those days Windows read the CPU speed from the BIOS settings 😁)

    I felt so sorry for them cos within 10 minutes it would've locked up and they wouldn't know what was going on.
    They never came back or anything and to this day still feel sorry for the gooks.

    That gook was working on a software product. He noticed an issue with his machine where performance is low compared to friends machines (who had Celeron 500). So he spent sleepless nights and optimize the software to solve the problem. That software became a massive and later he formed a startup with some angel investors. Now he is a successful businessman in silicon valley

    සැඩ සුලං හමාවි... වසන්තය ඒවි... ඒත් චරිත්ගේ කට නම් අඩු වෙන්නේ නෑ සත්තයි.

    I used a macbook 2018 or 19 one cant remember which tbh,,
    So i bought this off a lnkan dude who reduced the price from 1100AUD to 1000 since im a lankan, used this for idk maybe around 5,6 months and needed something new.. this bitch has no multi tasking, no split windows or anything,, idk why the cunts would still post shit about asking which mac to buy,,
    buncha arabs or lebos hit me up about the mac and i was like 1300$ and its yours, the charging count was somewherre around 40, so they were impresed with it and cashed the next second, they asked me to keep the office pack on it,, bitchass niggers dont even know how to install a package..
    300$ profit after 5,6 months of usage,, fair eh..
    went and built this machine im using RN for arounf 3000$.. fucking beast of a rig
