Great stuff! Was informed that the North American competition will be April 24th-25th in LA. I unfortunately have exams the following week but I think I'll risk it just to go to LA again and see everyone

Same here, exams the next week (or maybe the week before?). But I'll be there for sure

[Viss]

Great news Benelux is in this year

I'm kind of wishing the platform of choice would be AM3, it would make for some stellar overclocks Maybe this Core i7 D0 stepping will be available by the competition and make it a little more interesting.

Gigabyte should do something like this for all countries. Open to anyone who can submit scores and then just take top xx number of people. Would level the playing field a little bit since it seems many people have contacts at gigabyte and just automatically get picked?
