eVGA free mobo deal

[Bona Fide]

As far as I understand, if you buy an eVGA 7800GTX or 7800GT, you'll get their eVGA nForce4 SLI motherboard, free of charge. Now, my question is:

Do you have to buy it from their site, or can you buy it from a retailer? Manufacturers' sites are usually horridly overpriced, and I'm sure I could get a better deal by looking around at, say, Newegg or ZipZoomFly or wherever. Is their like a little mail-in certificate you get with the card? And then you send it to eVGA and they ship the mobo to you? Or is it that you get the mobo along with the card?

From what I read on their site, you have to buy the card from eVGA to get the motherboard.

Buy it from eVGA and get a free motherboard with it. Only from eVGA's direct site.

Jetway makes EVGA motherboards. I wouldn't even put one in a computer for my grandma.

You can buy it from newegg and get the mobo for free too. It's just in the combo deals section at the bottom.

Edit: Ok I guess I lied. It's not there anymore. But it WAS (not that that matters)

I haven't seen anything but good about EVGAs mobos. Anyone have a link that says otherwise? (curious, since I got this deal)

you buy a eVGA videocard and get the mobo free...BUT...i heard your actually paying lik $50 more when compared to other cards so your basically getting a $50 mobo, though as long as its a decent mobo then youve gotten a great deal!

that would be correct, another thing to note about evga is the step-up program. sounds like a real great deal to me (the stepup program that is) i have no idea about that board
