    Win a FREE AMD 780G chipset!

    Are you interested in getting a new, AMD 780G chipset, for FREE?? If so, we have a contest for you...that's right we have two AMD 780Gs to give away to our loyal readers and forum members.



    What? This isn't what you were expecting? I SAID two AMD 780G chipsets....

    No you won't be able to build your own motherboard (or if you can, email of pics!) but I think most of you would be interested in winning a bare AMD RS780 chip that was released today as the AMD 780G chipset.

    What do you have to do win one of them? All you have to do is make a post in this thread. Can't get any easier than that. Add this neat little trinket to your PC collection!

    *just to clarify, we'll have TWO winners of this contest with each getting a single RS780 chip.

    UPDATE: Contest will end on 12:01am on 3/8/08!!!

    Ryan, I think i'll enter for this contest too. BTW your review was sensible and simple. It appears integrated graphics have come a long way. It even got me looking to compare the laptop power consumption as compared to that of the 780Gs

    I also really enjoyed the review. Waiting to see the price on newegg as it looks to be a good companion for my quad.

    I suppose they could be made into replacements for people who carry around Athlon keychains.



    (though I'm not entering the contest! - just tossing out an idea)

    Do you just get the NB chip or is the NB + SB?

    My coffee table's a bit wobbly; one (or both) of these should do the trick.

    Re: Win a FREE AMD 780G chipset!

    I want to win, imagine finding one under your pillow like a, a, a well like something left by the tooth Fairy. One thing I noticed early on was to be especially careful around the tooth Fairy.All I ever got was chump change for my teeth, my friends said the very same thing.Sooooo in this crazy world of high priced dentistry I know that my teeth are worth a premium not commonly discussed by dentists because they back the tooth Fairy's play.SO remember to protect your teeth weather they are in or out of your face.

    After looking at that AMD thingy again I realize I could make some Pirate teeth with one of those bad boys.Or perhaps like one of those things like they have embedded in their forehead on Stargate SG-1. It would look way cooler and it would really make a statement with some Harri Krishna friends of mine. They would be saying "like that is so cool my brother". It would be awesome me at LAX passing out rice cakes with that plastered on my forehead.

    Well thats about all I can imagine doing with it now , however I will consult my runes stones for expanded suggestions. Peace Out!
