I believe the fastest celeron is a 2.8Ghz which I doubt would OC to 4.5Ghz.

It's very doubtful, even with extreme cooling.

This chart shows the latest Celeron processors (except the latest 2.8GHz)...no mention of a 4.5GHz processor anywhere.

Sounds like the typical person who does not know what they have and is confusing hard drive size with cpu spped etc. or more likely - that they have an older laptop at 450 megahertz

Send a message via AIM to xbenjix72
make him download a program called wcpuid. just search it on google or any search engine. it will show what his computers "real" speed is.
