    I'm a student, so I'm not rich. And why would I spend thousands of dollars (I don't have) to get something I can get for free if I prove that I'm worth it?
    I would be running a Nehalem / PII based PC with a couple of 4890 cards if I could, trust me.
    Besides, we all know that Fugger's CPU should overclock like no other due to his aura.

    Ninja edit: I have a job ofc, something is supposed to pay for the education, bills, and LN2 time to time, huh?

    Holy! Was just pointing out an alternative. That chip is only just over $500.00 at the moment, wonder what it will make it to???

    The other chip is at 12,000 USD or so... LOL. Gotta keep in mind that the other one is being sold for charity, though.

    Yeah, why sell it? It's a bit sad. Guess AMD wasn't really picky when sending these chips...

    Apparently they donated these chips for charitable purposes, one is raising money for an elder care home and the other is going towards funding computer programming and education.

    Ahh, so both are going for charity? Cool. Didn't know about the second one.
    We should all donate 10$ to XS to buy one of these to hold another contest IMO.
