this trick can also actually fool people. had a customer who bought an old Toshiba thinking that it had Core 2 Duo, ATI graphics, and 2 GB memory. Turned out the original specs were Intel Celeron, shared graphics, and 128 mb memory. my customer paid twice the price of what the machine should have originally been priced.
