It was on some german website Daniel, for prequalifiers linx stability ( no word on ram , number of runs, very very vague ) and I forgot the 2nd test requirement... if I relocate it I'll post the link... I hope it's related to GooC

haha Albrecht :D
GOOC prep, that seems a bit off??? Normally the qualification starts AFTER Cebit for most European countries.... Besides, there is an event by quite alot of Gigabyte offices, BEFORE GOOC 2010.... GOOC qualifications for Scandinavia I wont comment, as I dont believe this is public information....
The other event, for Scandinavia will be revealed upcoming week...

Hence; OBR, Taipei office is still closed, CNY, it will open tomorrow morning...

Personal note;
I DOUBT GOOC EU finals will be before May.

Actually rules depend on country...
My point was; This event will take place before we talk GOOC qualifications... ;)

This event, example in the region where I live; live event will be with P55 by Gigabyte, you can choose which version..... 2x1GB GTX1, HX850, GBT 260 SOC, Seagate HDD, and i5 processor (dont know which one)

not be fun, its not fair challenge against who have a HandPicked ES CPU. maybe if they will allow use only Retail CPUs wil be more fair for everyone.

Is it fair that if you buy 12 lottery coupons, you got bigger chance of winning then the guy next to you who buys one....???

Let me answer that question for you; Yes it is fair....

Btw; I do not think ES is allowed, Im not sure - however I know that submitting results from a none released Gulftown, will get you disqualified in a split second.

It wont solve the cherry hardware debate. I'd rather fight dumb luck in picking a CPU from a tray than go up against someone who might have £10K at their disposal to find the best CPU.

Picking from a tray on the day levels things out a bit.

I vote for Intel binning ALL ES and ALL retail so they ALL do the same frequency.

If they all do the same frequency, how is that any different to the idea of a MHz cap that was totally shot down a few months ago?

:)

Cap = fixed MHz by organizer
Binned to do the same = MHz isn't fixed, so people have to show their skills to get at the highest frequency.

In addition, they should bin ALL retail and ALL ES, even the bad ones, but give them different ratings so we know which are good and which are bad!
