So, I installed Debian and the grub menu wont show up

i would help but i just got into Linux yesterday. im still trying to figure why Chromium keeps giving me a ran out of memory error every time i go on a webpage

I use wubi or w/e it's called to dual run Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10

anywho, I just got the new mobo, SSD, and RAM in the mail, threw them in and reinstalled Windows, everything working fine :)

Now just for the CPU, PSU, GPU, and fans/cooling unit

the error I got before is coming up again. no matter how many times I delete the file or the folder

Major disappointment for treynoldsland:

I've been trying to overclock my i5-3570k for quite some time now, it had this issue where I couldn't get the multiplier to stay above 40.0
Turns out that the reason for this is that I accidentally ordered a locked 3570 model without realizing it for an entire year
Moral: read your component titles more carefully...

That'll teach you. You should sell it and get the k series.

This happened with my i7-2700, except I realized my error when I received it. I thought I had ordered a k version but apparently I hadn't. :(

why does intel still lock their processors is the question

why does intel still lock their processors is the question
the world may never know


I think it something to do with them putting locked processors in prebuilts

why does intel still lock their processors is the question
why does intel have a goverment kill switch

That'll teach you. You should sell it and get the k series.
Teach me what? To not make dumb mistakes? Selling it isn't worth it, the $5 dollar difference isn't enough to justify selling a used chip or paying for shipping

IN OTHER NEWS I DECIDED TO DO SOME BUILDS FOR THE OP
I changed a few of the pricing points ($1200, $2400) because there are fewer and fewer go-betweens for price the more powerful the hardware gets. I didn't include OS or cases because they come down to personal preference most of the time. I budgeted space for the case but not the OS. Rebates are included. I didn't include internal disk drives/burners because they're almost 100% useless unless you know for a fact you have a recurring purpose for them. If you want one just take it out of the case budget. REMEMBER, these are suggestions, so if you disagree with a choice I've made, make sure it is a valid reason and not just because you have a personal vendetta against SSDs or whatever else

Someone should check what I've done. I tried to be pretty consistent with pci slots and connectors and things like that all matching up, but there's a chance I missed something small like too few sata cables or a driver issue or something. You could find some generic cases too, if that's a requirement for things going into the OP
