You have to be a total retard to enter a contest in order to get the chance to BUY something.

This is the lamest contest ever. I am going to go buy a P4 now and shove my XP in a hampsters butt.

quit encouraging them....if they don't want to participate, more of a chance to win for those that do participate. now shutup and let this thread die.

I got this at home while on my lunch break. So far I'm 2 for 2 on the yearly giveaways. I for one like the "events" more than this BS, but hey, I've had good luck with AMD so far....

I did the same thing. Got in right away when it started (kept refreshing until it did), completed both tests and got page
not found. Now it shows I completed it and when a friend logs in it shows that the spots for today are filled, so I guess
they got their 8 and then took down the site for entering credit card info. We must have been close though.

I got through. It asked for a contact phone number at the end for me, not a CC number.

Argh, I only got up to 17, I'm assuming 20 is what I needed.... *grumbling*. Anyway, just out of curiousity, how tough are the tech questions?

It opens randomly between 4-5pm ET, it's not a set time. I didn't get an email either, and from what I see it doesn't seem like anyone did. I did get the prize confirmation email though, which didn't ask for my credit card number or anything oddly enough.

They were quite simple,

What does AGP stand for?

What does TCP/IP stand for?

were my two, a couple of other people have gotten different ones, but of the same difficulty (not much at all).

i'm 2/2 as well but think i won't get in on this one - had to get a string of 20! to get past the damn matching thing. then the questions were kind of tough. 8 other guys had won before i was finished. def. like the events better ... more chances to win, no money out of pocket, and don't have to try to be sneaking about doing this sh*t at work!
