@@Knight Hadron,

well... I will not use my backup HDD for something like that... the less that one is used, the longer it lasts, and I cannot afford losing everything (like my passwords for over 300 websites and services)

 

So I still have:

C Partition, System (50GB free)

E Partition, Recordings (230GB free, but I record ~500MB/minute so that fills up quite fast)

F Partition, Games & Programs (80GB free)

 

I guess I could install it on F... but I don't like to see when my HDDs go red in windows ._.
I already hate it so much when there is less than 1/3 of the HDD free... I even uninstall games to keep over 1/3 of my F Partition free (which is currently not, should uninstall something)
It's like a obsession, I CANNOT fill a HDD to more that 2/3 ._.

Ah. Now I understand. You could run off a flash drive, perhaps, but I dunno how Mint would like that. Me trying it on Ubuntu ultimetely crashed things up badly. *shrugs shoulders* Try cygwin :)

So this isn't my CURRENT PC (I shudder to think of it, a SSD can't save this machine's loading times..), but rather my future PC: I'm ordering these parts very soon.

MSI GTX 960,

ASROCK N68-GS4,

2x4GB DDR3 RAM,

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm,

Intel i7-4510U @ 2.00 GHz 2.60 GHz (I have no idea what in the world that is supposed to mean... lol)
 Turbo Boost! Although Windows often incorrectly gauges that. The maximum Turbo Boost speed of that CPU is 3.1GHz, not 2.6GHz.

Well, yeah, I had no idea why there were two GHz readings, but at the same time, I'm meaning that I don't know what any of it means. I know nothing about processors. But that's fine, it really doesn't matter at all to me.

Basically, under load (running Chrome, compressing a file, playing a game, etc) the processor goes faster to keep up with the demand. That help?

Since I can honestly say I'm happy with my now repaired laptop I can post its updated specs :)

 

Along with getting a new hard drive (cause apparently that's what went wrong) the repair done on my baby gave it these new specs :)

 

OS: Still Windows 7 though instead of the standard Windows 7 Starter I bought it with it now has Windows 7 Professional :D

 

Processor: Intel Celeron 1.50 GHz

 

RAM: 4 GB, I believe it used to have 2 before

 

And to top it all off it's now a 64 bit system :pinkie:

 

It's been two weeks since it was returned to me, and after a four month abcense I can honestly say my baby is better than it ever was :D Not the same as the ASUS I was after, but I'm glad I can still use it :catface:

i believe you can put Linux on chromebooks! so if you're done with chromeOS you could always do that :P

i like how this chromebook looks tough. it's really different from the usual black/grey used on laptops!
