I got a hand-me-down Athlon XP 2500+ around 2004-ish. I had read what you could do with it, so I did: bumped it up to 3200+ specs. It ran like that for years, until I saw the motherboard capacitors leaking and moved on.

Oh yeah. When I was a kid, my parents bought me an Athlon XP 2500+… overclocked to 3200+ and ran like that for many, many years. Eventually I gave that PC away to someone. I kinda regret that decision now :D
