Tough little cpu !!!!

Postby 4_Series_Scania » Wed Jan 04, 2006 6:46 pm

Ages back, I had an Intel Celeron (Sct 478 ) 1.7ghz, it suffered a few years of me overclocking it and ultimately , I sold it to my sister as a complete PC.

a good 2 years later, she calls me out of the blue to say the pc's dead.

I went round to have a look.

I powered up the pc, hitting "del" to get into setup on the bios, and went downstairs to make a Brew!
