| | | | 157 Comments | | | Because I'm running the oldest rig on the forum compared to the other regulars and It's time I upgraded so i can actually play the latest games rather then sit through a slide show  | | | | Because i live in such a country where service industry works like it's from the Stone Age. So, if you choose me, you shouldn't even spend your time trying to send any prize and leave it to yourself. I won't receive it anyway, even after a year.  | | | | Sometimes price succeeds performance in this day in age and with so many great choices these days the items above only seem to go to those who don't appreciate them or can't use them.
I could give you a thousand reasons why I should win this i7, but the real question here is," Am I the worthy candidate or is the i7 920?" You be the judge! | | | | Thou shall give me the Core i7 920 or i shall threaten your family and kill your CAT! YES, YOUR CAT!~ >D
nah, just joking.... or am i....? better be safe and just have me win the I7 yes? : D | | | | I will use the I7 for Folding at Home when it is not busy playing Unreal3 or Crysis.
C | | | | Because my 2.4 Ghz dell with PCI graphics is useless now :-( | | | | Picture it: Harlingen, Texas. The year was 1988. A humble man and his wife, a mother to be. They hurry to a hospital to give birth to a child. Ten fingers, ten toes. Everything is fine.
The man and woman then drive this child back to their home where a peaceful life awaits them.
Or so they thought.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, four limousines box in their humble town car. The man was expecting this for years, but this was a most inopportune time. A high speed chase begins. Ninjas jump out of the limos and onto the man's car. The woman is frightened; the baby is crying.
Using the training he received from the CIA, the man was able to shake two of the pursuers. Their cars exploded gloriously as soon as they fell off the highway. The man was also able to shake off a few of the ninjas clinging haplessly to the roof of the car.
Windows breaking. The ninjas were going to win this one. Thinking quickly, the man kissed his wife good bye and pressed a button hidden behind the dashboard of the car. The passenger seat was ejected along with the passengers. They landed safely thanks to a combination of a parachute and using a ninja as a cushion.
The town car was soon stopped. The man was being carried away and stuffed into a limo. It drove off in a great haste.
The woman was soon captured, as well as the child. They were stuffed into the remaining vehicle and taken to the ninja headquarters.
1993. The man is nowhere to be seen or heard from. The woman and child are held prisoner, but the woman has a plan. She had been digging away at the walls of their prison with a spoon and old sandal. The hole was far too small for an adult. But that was the plan.
"Hurry through this tunnel and avenge us" the woman pleaded while pushing her child out the door.
The child ran. Alarms went off. The woman was dragged even further into this fortress.
On the outside world, a strange monk found this wandering child and began to raise and train him as his own.
2009. The child is now twenty-one years of age and is ready to exact revenge on this evil ninja corporation.
But he needs to crack an algorithm that controls the locks on all the doors. They say it can be cracked using a program that is able to take advantage of a four core processor with hyperthreading. It was prophesied. The gods knew this day would come.
Hi, my name is William Clayton Young. Ninjas kidnapped my father and mother and I need this processor in order to make them pay. | | | | Well you see im a poor father of 2 girls with no money, I spend it on those girls, and cant afford to upgrade my poor athlon64. There isnt enough money to upgrade the poor thing. Im not active around here, and I apologize but 2 jobs and 2 little girls take away my time. I could use the cpu, but no means demand it, if someone needs it more gladly give it to them, but if you think i could use it, i would be forever greatful | | | | I really need to win this so I can upgraade the caveman that I have. If I don't win, Kanye West will come out of nowhere & swipe it for me at the last second!!!  | | | | I should win this CPU to OC it soo much that there will be a nuclear meltdown in Canada !!!
Oh SNAP this one wont fit with my board XD | | | | Well i am none of the above... LOL
but yes i would love to win the CPU,Fan...  | | | | Because I need to find the question of life... All I know is that the answer is 42 !!!!!!!! | | | | Why ? WHY ? You want to ask me WHY ???
Cause I'am 29, member of NGOHQ.com, (with not enough postings I just found out to even be able to compete @#!!@$) and in all those years I never won shit when I entered a (online) contest that I would love to win !!! THAT'S WHY !!! |

Reason: I just found out I don't even stand a chance according to the contest rules :S
| | | | | | If you can't see the humor in me winning an Intel cpu and having to finally bench one against all my Phenoms, then I guess I ain't got a chance anyways. :P | | | | Mmm because not only have have never won anything I never been laid either(:P)...also need an excuse to try something more than a C2D.
I am waiting till the new architecture is at least twice as fast as my C2D befor I go and buy into it....... | | | | Me?
Because Vader's a cow and I'd use it to synthesize Jedi Lego Balls... the finest Jedi Lego Balls!
J E D I L E G O B A L L S ! ! ! ! Feel that disturbance, Cow!
Also I'd like to create the most expansive reverberation effect humanly possible in Ableton. I think this miniature marvel would go some way to helping me achieve this sonic nirvana!
How long do you think you could rest a gonad on the i7 before you'd have to remove it?
I'm talking sans HSF here; just Intel Vs Scrota... Balls Vs Binary.
Did I mention I'm piss-poor at the moment? I'd sell my 'non-Intel'd' ball to get the DDR3 and Gigabyte UD5 that this puppy truly deserves. | | | | I have a lot of powerfull reasons to win this i7, but i really need to get some sleep so i will make it short (or not):
- I'm from Uruguay. Yeah, that's a country folk. Below Brazil... and much smaller.
You will figure out that if you don't had a clue of this remote place in the Universe, same happens to Intel/AMD... so, i'm posting on a tweaked-modded-washing-machine.
Hehe, well may be i'm exaggerating a little bit, but you got the point. We have PCs of course, and even the lastest processors... but believe it or not, everything here cost TWICE the US price !!!
Hence, giving me the i7, is like give TWO processors instead of just one! Think about it, it's convenient for both of us... you can double your generosity for free!! (all right, i'll pay shipping fees)
-And last but not least, this could help me to get some money to take English courses. ¬¬
Feel free to call me asking for my shipping address. Thanks in advance, see ya ! |

| | | | | | I'm trying to build a studio for multiple uses (Not one of them being that of gaming. I was tempted, though), and I'm hoping that I can make it all work on a single machine. | | | | because i have never won anything in my life. | | | | Remember this old Pentium Joke:
Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.
Looks like Intel decided to use imaginary numbers now...
Lol jks, I am a proud owner of a Pentium 4 3.4GHz ( I call him Woody) a Pentium 4 2.4GHz (call him Northy), a Pentium III 600mhz, Pentium M 2.0ghz and the Pentium 166MMX (Maxi), and my good old 486DX2, all safely stored away in my history bin. I think its about time I get an upgrade, while my brother jumped the Core 2 duo launch (lucky #@!$) I ran low on the dough, I think its about time I lay rest to Woody! | | | | Because my dog has a better system than I could ever have, and for once I would like to have more than a BAG OF ROCKS FOR TRICK OR TREAT! | | | | I like to win the core i7
porq soy de Argentina missions and withholding laws have been applied to imported products osea q recien in 2015 or maybe a lot more could get a very expensive price
I'm from Argentina 19 years and am very enthusiastic about this proposal!
p / d: also like to see if the GET the i7 can play mario bross jeej | | | | Thanks for telling me, but I don't want this CUP. I don't have a mobo fit for it, I don't have proper RAM, the customs office would gang bang me if you would send it to me as a gift so in the end I would have to pay.
Anyway, good luck to everybody else. | | | | mkey, where abouts are you?
over here, customs doesn't get a crap until the value in AUD is >1000 | | | | Hello.
Last year I was working for a large sign company. I was making good money, and doing everything right. My teenage son was happy, and things were good.
Then, in May, my mother passed away due to cancer. A month later, my father passed away. In November, I lost my job. The company I worked for closed it's doors.
I had to sell nearly everything I owned. I sold my 65" DLP HDTV, I sold my sons new mountain bike, I sold my camcorder, my PS3, my XBOX 360, everything. Just to survive. Unemployment screwed me, and said I wasn't eligible due to a overpayment in 2001. I did everything I could do to survive.
In February of this year, I got a job. I worked there for 4 months, and they laid me off due to lack of work. Six other people lost their jobs as well. This time, I had to sell my new car, a 2008 Chevrolet Aveo.
Unemployment still will not lift it's disqualification, and I am pennyless. I was rejected Welfare since my son is almost 18.
Soon, my electric company will be turning out the lights, and my eviction notice is forthcoming. My son is moving back to his mothers, the same son I raised as a single father since he was 2 years old.
I can't imagine anyone understanding these hardships, since my life has almost become unbelievable. I have literally lost everything.
Please, have a heart, and select somebody who is deserving of this wonderful prize. Whether it's me or somebody else, please give it to somebody who could really use the spirit lifter.
Thanks for reading this, and take care. | | | | Why do I deserve to be the winner?
Because I deserve to be able to show off my machine for once, that's right! nothing else gives you the right to show off like running many multiple instances of IntelBurn Test (>_>) without your system crashing, then again i'd need a new mobo too (hint).
Oh also by the time the competition is done i'd prolly have to get win7 too, so win7+i7 for extra win :3 | | | | I am so lucky I read this thread.
Why I supposed to be the winner?
Easy, because I deserved to be the winner. Simply huh?
Just kidding...
Let's make thing simple, it is because I want it, I need it very much.
My brother want to buy a new pc on coming christmas day.
We do celebrate christmas day but I haven't figured out what should I prepare for this year christmas day.
If I get the i7 920, it definitely will be a very cool present for my bro.
No matter what, good luck for the winner of this i7 920.
Thanks. | | | | Another funny contest!
I remember March 31st, 2005 when we competed about a Radeon X800XL 256MB, and I ended up in 9th place according to the Outlook print-screen picture. Stayed up the whole night and searched, since the GMT difference and did my very best.
One funny thing with IRL or Internet overall is, that you always hear about people who win cool stuff, or bought a awesome thing at Ebay for a really nice price. Since im unemployed, I would like to be that guy for ones, who can tell the tale that I won something I couldn't afford right now.
I always tell my fiancée to have her dreams, I hope she can tell me that I can have mine..
Best Regards
Oxcide | | | | Because Im stuck in Iraq where you cant get an I7 even if you tried, using an HP MINI with an intermittant internet connection so I cant really post all to often but Ill try to get the 10 post needed right now while I am connected. Man I really need to build a new rig. this lil guy im using is good but nothing beats a desktop. | | | | I don't actuallly want to be the winner...
Reasons why I don't deserve to be the winner:
- I have a working processor in my computer
- Because of the previous statement, I would probadly make the money out of the prize and use it to some whores as they give more pleasure compared to some processors
- I heard from my mom that i7 doesn't perform nearly as good as my Guad Core Q8200
- I would have enough to buy the prize processor if I wanted (just sold my table, bed, and bookshelf and moved back to my parents)
So Please, don't let me win.
*krmhm.. with-a-little-irony* | | | | Because ~5/10 finalists in the last contest were mine but I didn't even get a consolation gift :< | | | | Quote:

Even though there is none. Maybe they would accept some sort of official document that says it's a gift, but even then, they would eyeball the price and fuck me in the ass.
Pardon my French, but those pricks always get me going. | | | | I don't deserve to have this super mega fastest CPU in whole Universe (except Alpha Centauri), because I play only Digger  | | | | Intel? No, thx. Intel is almost monopolist using illegal practices to gain advantage over amd. I'm loyal amd customer and will never betray amd! AMD sales cpus in much lower price and similar performance to intel's cpus. Just... i hate corporations who want to become monopolists and are cheating.
You want to give me cpu? Give me phenom II supported by my mobo and i will be happy, but if you will give me intel's cpu i will throw it through my nice window, but firstly i will open window, it would be a pity if my window would be broken by intel's "thing". | | | | Because, I'm 36, and I'm still a virgin!!!  I'm not a virgin because i'm ugly, it's because I've always waited for somethiing like this CPU.  | | | | You should choose me please as I'm a poor man that really can't afford the latest tech.
I promise I would look after it...I'd mount it on a plinth an put it in pride of place on the mantle piece.
Unless of course you also gave me a triple channel DDR3 set and X58 mobo so I could afford to use it in which case I'd overclock the a$$ off it.  | | | | because i grew up in the Skywalker family - and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi didn't want me to turn to the dark side, so he bought me a damm AMD blaaaa
You know how hard is to run service druid with that?
(F Trekkies! SW Rules!!!) | | | | | | hehe  i just want the NGO hq sticker  how can i get it ? | | | | "You will figure out that if you don't had a clue of this remote place in the Universe, same happens to Intel/AMD... so, i'm posting on a tweaked-modded-washing-machine."
I lol'ed  | | | | I suggest one small addendum to the contest - with the nicest post owner getting the i7, the 5 most stupid ones get permanent ban. Just to make things a bit more competitive. | | | | | | Quote:

I don’t remember when AMD agreed to sponsor any contest on this site. They are always sponsoring the same guys for a few decades now, they don't even reply to my mails. At least the monopolists are fair with us, so they deserve credits. | | | | | | Ive dreaming about it, in my dreams i have it. Super contest :-) | | | | |

| | | | | | Well, Im a gamer whos playing at competitive level, I mean I got a team whichs playing in leagues, and every frame is lethal to me, I find even my oc'ed e8400 not managing our game, its team fortress2. Sometimes dipping to 30fps means whole team failure. And the game is very cpu related. Oh and being student I cant afford this goodness myself. Thats why I want this i7. | | | | YOU... GIVE ME THE HORSE SHOE AND I WILL BUY THE HORSE LATER | | | | well having a cpu already, ram and mb in my country is cheaper than cpu already. Within a month or too I could get them, but for whole system it would take a year. | | | | I have assembled by myself and used some PCs new tech, some of them based on Athlon 939, 940 Dual Core, 4 Core CPUs, on Intel I assembled some 2 & 4 Core based CPUs. I have not yet had the opportunity to assemble any PC based on i7 CPU ...might it be the occasion to allow for doing it... I am so incited for that eventuality... I would be able to do some tests on different configurations upon your requisition, and I would share results obtained... I hope you keep me in consideration... Thnxs, Rgds, | | | | | | Why do I need the Intel Core i7 920 Processor, you ask? Now there's a story. Make yourself comfortable and I will tell you from the beginning. I can't promise it will be interesting but I assure you it is long!
I have always been a movie fanatic. If it is on VHS, VCD, DVD, or the internet I will probably give it a watch. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with a degenerative illness and so I spent a lot of time at home watching movies rather than going to school and learning the oh-so-important life lessons that go along with being shoved into lockers and having the waistband of your underwear pulled up to your eyebrows. No need for sympathy yet, it turns out I was misdiagnosed and my condition was treatable - I am obviously still alive or I wouldn't be writing this, well, unless I was a ghost, but then I would have no need for an Intel Core i7 920 Processor, would I?
There was a local, mom and pop, video rental store in my home town and my father and I were quite well known there because I watched so many movies and we were in there so frequently. This was before DVDs were the main media-type for movies so VHS was the order of the day. One day, I remember it well because I actually walked all the way to the video store for the first time, I came across a movie called "The Refrigerator." It looked like your typical B horror film but I was bored and decided to give it a watch. When I got home and opened the VHS snap-case I did not fine a cassette with a professionally printed label, but rather a common TDK recordable cassette with "21, 94, 8, 61" scrawled in black magic marker across the lined, otherwise blank, label.
Curious, I popped the cassette into the VCR and the strangest thing happened. A man came on the screen and began reciting numbers, starting with the four numbers on the label of the cassette! It was the oddest thing I had ever seen recorded. The man continued to rattle off the series of numbers for about ten minutes before the tape just went to snow.
I packaged up the cassette and that night I returned to the rental store and complained to the manager who kindly gave me a credit on my account. I quickly went of grabbed a new movie and forgot all about the tape, the strange man, and the series of numbers he rattled off. Then, two years ago something happened to bring back that odd, seemingly benign, memory. I was sitting in my local generic Seattle-style chain coffee shop, drinking my over-roasted coffee and enjoying a good book - Dune, if I recall correctly, when I glanced to my left and saw a scrap of paper on the floor. Written on the paper were the same numbers written across the label of the cassette from years ago. More than that, on the scrap of paper the sequence continued on, filling the entire scrap of paper with numbers.
I grabbed the scrap of paper and went straight home. I started writing a program to try to figure out why these numbers and why this sequence. That program has been running non-stop on my Athlon XP 1800+ for the past two years and it still hasn't finished. This is why I need the Intel Core i7 920 Processor! I need to be able to find my answer so I can end this crazy obsession and get on with my life! I need closure.
For now, I will go back to watching Animal Crackers and laughing until I hurt as Groucho rains down the humor in exactly the way Carrot-Top does not. Good luck to everyone. | | | | I'd like to win...so I could sell the intel cpu, and buy an AMD Phenom II X4 965. Long live the underdog... | | | | Beacause I <3 joo, and I didnt make you read alot...
...Also Ive kidnapped your dog and theres a chinese food place across the street... | | | | I had to delete several posts due to flaming. This contest suppose to be fun, please don't fight. And for all the dog/cat kidnappers, I'll pay you to keep my dog to yourselves. I tried to find someone to kidnap him for a few months now, but he's too mean, so I'm stuck with him. | | | | Very well then...choose me or I shall return your dog | | | | I wish to win this prize on what in me still never was model processors intel especially the last. And all from for this purpose that in Intel more expensive prices than in AMD on it I would like to see and estimate all charm of their architecture.--------------------------- |

| | | | | | I would love to win this (I wouldn't say I deserve, I don't like to boast about myself) as I'm a full time college student with very low income, the computer I'm using now has an old Athlon inside which is on it's last legs and I've been planning to build a budget computer to replace this one for quite some time but I've never been able to get enough funds, the CPU would be a great template to start a new build and would save me money which I could put towards Microsoft Office which I desperately need for college work | | | | Quote:
Originally Posted by blindartist Very well then...choose me or I shall return your dog | A winner lol | | | | 'Cause you obviously want to give it to me. I got your email. It said you wanted to give me something so I came here looking for it. Not sure what the dilemma is here.
When I'm ready to receive it, I'll provide you with a mailing address. Kinda busy right now but I'll get around to it. | | | | Well, since I work with 3d animation and modeling, I feel I'm not getting enough rendering power to produce over 9000 polygons in less than 5 days. I've been thinking of updating my computer parts, from processor to gfx card and I gotta say that this would be a huge progress towards the hyper machine. Although, I'd have to buy a new mobo with the new processor...don't think you could throw in a fresh motherboard as well?
But honestly, I don't want a new processor because I make 3d animations...I'd like it because it would make a nice coaster for my ice cold beer...damn wife keeps nagging about it. | | | | I believe I should win the 920 because I believe it can pleasure me in ways no woman could ever. | | | | ??? why is my post removed i did not flame anyone Quote:
wow i will not comment anyone's answer (trying to keep my mouth shut) anyway i think that It is time for upgrade | | | | | Quote:

well i actually don't deserve it at all  yep.. thats that..
and cant find any logic reason in this Universe for you to pick me as the winner!
cheers  | | | | Because I haven't won anything from NGO   | | | | Please NGOHQ...
For Just one Intel Core i7 920 processor, you could help feed a cold and hungry 4870X2 crossfire setup. This processor alone stands between FPS life and death to these poor GPU's. They are currently bottle necked and bandwidth starved by a helpless, old and overworked Q6600 with a failing core who is struggling to provide for her GPU twins. Please Help Ruby and Sapphire. Donate today! | | | | I have a pretty old computer. i7 is a bit costlier than other processor but I need it still cause of its uber performance. Its time to move on to the new Nehalem architecture.
Also the name of the processor : "i7" sounds great. | | | | Quote:

| | | | | | because of jolina, my 11 month old little daughter which does not own a computer at all. she loves playing with the keyboard while i'm browsing ngohq, therefore a new cpu would be a good start to get her a computer so ngohq gets a new autonomous member. i never won anything, worth more than 5 bucks, yet and she not even attempted a contest.
"Yes You Can" share the new cpu for the computer of the new life (my daughter) | | | | It's easy
I'm so dumb that regular processor can't live with me /: | | | | i never won anything in my life as well!
but that is not a valid reason for anyone to pick me as a winner!  | | | | | | Give it to me because:
a) I want you!
b) I need you!
c) I love you!
d) ngohq is the best
z) all of the above | | | | Give it to me because:
My core 2 duo is overheating so much that:
- I can cook eggs on it,
- it is slow like "£¢¢£@@
- his lifespan is over
- my house my be on fire soooon!!!!!!
Daniel | | | | dude.... if your c2d is overheating then a i7 will cause a apocalyptic event in your hands...... | | | | lol
You see Regen, laughing with squall, not at him. | | | | Something from someone's heart -------------------------------------------- Hi, Bio Hazard , where are you looking at ?
I’m here , your dying Processor . I'm feeling very sick because
you have started giving me trouble by running 3D applications on me.
Don't you know that, I'm not capable of doing all these for you.
Why the heck, didn't you go for a “ Powerful “ CPU
when you have purchased me ?
I thought, that you will not be playing any games on me but day by
day your demands are increasing like Leaps & Bounds.
When I was young, you have played many 3D games on me.
You cannot remember that huh ?
But how can I forget that I had to suffer
from those heavy
" Number Crunchers " ?
You even have tried to overclock me several times .
Let's get it straight , what exactly do you want from me ?
I’m thinking about consulting with my elder sister.
Arrrr.. why are you using slang language ?
Don’t you know that I’m speaking about your “ GPU “ ?
Yes, I’m gonna consult with her about how to deal with you.
She has told me yesterday that you are doing injustice to her as well.
You have overclocked her too without taking any necessary precautions.
What, u wanted to see a 30+ FPS in Half Life 2 ?
What made u think that u'll be able to run that using me ?
And do you atleast have any idea about how to make an increment to " FSBs " ?
I think you should immediately get a Core i7 system coz atleast
I’m not gonna tolerate anymore your repeated efforts to run
“ Crysis “ on me.
You don’t have the money to buy that ?
Never mind, you won’t have to buy them.You can get that for free.
I’m out of my mind ? Not yet brother, you can check out the
“ NGOHQ “ Giveaway Contest in which they are giving you
the chance to win a sexy Core i7 CPU
so that you can run all the 3D games & applications you want.
But you will have to impress them by saying that why
they should give u that.
No,no,no….... I’m not going anywhere with you.
You will have to deal with that by yourself.
Don’t seat lazy. Act fast or you’ll be forfeited from that. A Picture is worth 1000 words.A picture can express more than words.
So, here it goes like this ................... |

| | | | | | I'm not going to type a long essay to win this cpu. I just want to put it simply as possible "Just give me the cpu". Nah, just kidding.
The reason why I need the CPU.
1. I'm a hardcore gamers.
2. I'm a HighDef lunatics.
3. Crazy about new hardware.
4. I'm from a country that don't even know what CPU is. | | | | When is this going to close, I'm eager to see the results. | | | | Give it to me because I have a crappy job, credit card debt, and can't afford one.
Hey, I'm not going to lie.  Probably not going to win either, but eh. | | | | hmmm something original .......
I DONT want your free awsome Core i7 CPU! I mean who wants something so awsome, so fast, so new! Infact I dont want this so much that Im not going to go out and get a brand new motherboard and memory for this if I were to win. Oh and not to mention the watercooled CPU block's bracket that I would need to buy. I mean im perfectly happy with my aging Q6600 that doesnt hold a candle to the Core i7. So all in all, yeah I dont want it!
Disclaimer: To be clear I do want this. I want this so much I would sell my first born that would be specifically bred to sell, for this. Also to be clear, I never really posted here much but I used to use the nvidia optimized drivers. So I guess that makes me less of a mooch I hope heh.
Anyway Im going to go get drunk and cry myself to sleep knowing I shall not win this. | | | | I dont wanna take part , just gonna do my usual bithin about contest.

Don’t worry... Next week I’ll clean up the spam so spammers won’t be entitled to participate. Besides, by making this contest available to registered users only – it reduced the contesters from thousands to hundreds.
Besides, if I remember correctly, you won something in the past despite spammers. If we can get more sponsors, we could arrange special contests for hardcore users only. Sadly, some vendors are sponsoring the same sites on monthly basis (Like your beloved AMD). It is impossible to convince them to sponsor another site. |

| | | | | | Ok i have a question.
Are the contest create traffic after the contest is over ??
Other way the same question , how many people stay after the contest , or what % of the traffic it generates stay with the site after contest`s are over ?
If its true that it is helping the site , i gonna shut up , and never bith about again.
PS. Yes Eran, the card is running great  . And as You see i dont wanna take part it this. Dont have money to build rig over it , so it wuld render usless in my hands. | | | | I love to get a i7 CPU, but ... I don't have the $ to buy the mobo and the DDR3 for it
love to but can't, that's why I shouldn't have it  | | | | nice contest regen. i hope the cpu finds a good home... | | | | I would use exclusively for Folding@Home to rack up those points. | | | | Give It to GENL, he has done a huge task of putting a FU Finger in Nvidias face with the PhysX fix for ATI owners, he has entertained us so well and given us a early christmas present, so he deserves a early present him self. He is the only one that deserves on, from all of us here!?  Or just to make it unfair, you could give it to me.  Im a looser, so you would make me a happy looser, but still, give it to GenL. | | | | ^ thats a good idea and very deserved. | | | | Because I have a crazy idea of having a computer so powerful it needs to be exorcised \m/
And If I win this contest and another with a graphic card it'll help a lot!
Aaand I'm from a poor country with lousy student salary. (Poor countries FTW!)
Aaaaand I'm often running SETI@home so if YOU want to help find the truth(out there) HELP ME! I would be very(veryveryvery) grateful! ^_^ | | | | Yeah, give it to GenL for sticking it to them assholes. | | | | Why do I deserve to win this awesome prize? I helped a little old lady across the street yesterday. I got there just in time too. She was about to slip and fall on a banana peel.
She then said if I told this story I would win a prize. You wouldn't want to disappoint a sweet little old lady would you? | | |
