    A big Thank you to Gigabyte and Dinos22

    From a offhand comment to Dinos22 and then him following up Gigabyte sent the WCG team 6-Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R boards to pass out to the team.
    I threw a bunch of names into my spaghetti collander and had my 79 year old Mother pull out the six winners.
    Here's the six winners:
    1)MysticMerlin
    2) Shaotai
    3)LU523
    4)Plan B.
    5)Solid
    6)Don_XVI
    The boards have all arrived to the winners and some have been built.
    I would like to Thank Gigabyte for this generous donation and also to Dino for making this happen.
    What I can say to the company and to Dino is that these boards will be put to good use in our quest to find the cures for AIDS,Cancer and many other diseases.
    Thank you.

    Gigabyte and Dinos22 proved that they are willing to walk the walk. Thanks again for helping this team fight some very terrible diseases.

    Congrats to all

    I have one X58A-UD3R (rev 2.0) crunching away at 3.8 steadily...

    It actually needed a slight voltage bump to be stable compared to the X58-UD3 it replaced but that is probably down to release versus relatively mature bios...

    I have mine cruching now. I played around with Vail a bit on it. Got Win 7 on it now. Going at an easy 3Gighz for now. Many thanks to Dinos22 and Gigabyte for what they did for us. I am going to try and do a small review of the board. I am no pro when it comes to it, so hang in there.
    I just wish it was not so hot here in Atlanta. I would reallly see what it would do.

    so it was all the name of the active cruncher that had a chance to win it ???

    I want to say thanks to gigabyte and Dino for doing this but i think this team would rather need some help from Supermicro or tyan i would rather think for some dp or mp goodness.
