- bananaflag 13d agoWhen my dad bought one he told me outright "this is for poor people".
- lackoftactics 13d agoI have some fond memories from my celeron days :) But I was upgrading from AMD K5 100 MHz
- exe34 13d agoI had a 600MHz/64MB/9GB laptop that came with Windows mistake edition. I managed to survive first year of uni on it by switching to Vector Linux, which was really fast compared to Windows. (Of course, it had issues playing sound from more than one source, this was oss days). Then one day the hard drive appeared to die. I eventually realised the issue was located around the 1.5gb mark, so I recreated my Linux partitions after 2gb and it worked fine for the rest of the year.
- lackoftactics 12d agothat's what I call true creativity AI can't replace
- exe34 12d agoNah, AIs will cheat their way through anything you let them do. If skipping half the drive will let it get that sweet RL reward, it will do it. Chat gpt came up with it: https://chatgpt.com/share/6a9ae2c9-1910-83ed-9591-1b30f8834cb9 https://chatgpt.com/share/6a9ae2c9-1910-83ed-9591-1b30f8834c... I assume it hasn't had time to read my post yet.
- lackoftactics 12d agoThat’s grim that it was it first idea, but I guess if you have whole internet knowledge at it’s finger tips
- exe34 12d agoI liked the suggestion to create a second partition at the start - I hadn't thought of it myself and just gave up on the first 2gb.
- dcl 13d agoThey overclocked well though, I think you could run the 300Mhz chips at >400Mhz. I also believe you could get motherboards that supported 2 Celeron chips. I have no idea how effective/useful it was, but it was certainly a cheap/interesting way to get multiple CPU's.
