I deserve this card because I've been living with mediocre hardware all my life, and when I buy, it's usually on a small budget. Not only will this card jump start an awesome computer, but I'll be able to play every game I own on Ultra-high Direct X 10.

It'll go to a good home, rest assured.

It will also make an awesome early B-Day present. (18th is the day, May, of course)

I bealive that I deserve this card because its the exact thing that I need right now because I am building a new sistem with great components like ASUS P5E3, 2 DDR3 memoris, Core2Duo E6750 and I ran out of money, so I'm forced to run on a radeon 2400.

Perfect card for tetris

Please, I am the one that deserves this card, since I just want to play "TETRIS" and I just can´t.

Maybe that was possible, with that awesome card, handling those freaking awesome 2D graphics of "TETRIS".

TETRIS for the win (yes I like "bubble bobble" as well)

amdcrankitup is on a distinguished road

Thumbs Up!

Look guys My current system is s Amd K7/600 mhz,384 mgs of ram,and a 32mg video card,I had 3 killer rigs prior to this but I lost them my home and and my job because Ive been sick for a couple years due to a minor stroke,2 brain surgeries,and 1 heart attack. So Im trying to build me a new toy.Im on disability so that kind of leaves me poor or (financially Challenged) But Im still alive so Im thankfull to God fot that. So far I,ve managed to buy me a new case a Coolermaster 690 but thats as far as ive got.So possibly winning the card would be great.It would go great with my wish list which so far would be a Intel E8400 (Wolfdale) and a Asus Blitz Formula) LOve overclocking so it would be great! Regardless whoever wins wish you all good luck and look forward to being a member of the Forums.

System Specs

because i have no other life besides gaming.......

the day i bought Crysis, i spent 2 days working on it..... all day from 5am to 3am

no breakfast lunch or dinner......

no showers, fresh clothes or deodorant......

no more than 2 hours of sleep for two days and no need for bathroom break..... my system was already emptied out.

while Crysis was beat.... i wasnt satisfied with the performance of the game...

so with this card... i can disappear into my room once again and play something like Call of Duty 4 and simply wont stop until i beat it......

i have no life besides gaming and computers.... so if you entrust that card to me..... it will allow me to continue living in my little fantasy world.... save me from coming back to reality...to the place where theres gravity....

if i get that card.... my little world will be displayed in more vivid colors and textures...
and when i fall asleep.....i can dream im in the game just as i seen it with the 9800GTX.

Big Grin

Top 20 reasons not to give everyone else the card!

1. Its my first post
2. I'm poor
3. I'm a post whore
4. I donate
5. I'm a Mod
6. I'm a Mods Friend
7. I'm gonna sell it
8. I'm on disability
9. I'm turning 30
10. Because I'm a showoff
11. Because I'm a noob
12. Because I been living with mediocre hardware all my life
13. Because I own an XFX 7900 that gives me artifacts on window desktop with no overclock
14. Because I just want to play "TETRIS"
15. Because I'll kick your ass
16. For a real reason to update my system
17. because I have no life besides gaming and computers
18. Because my pet just died
19. I think it will pwzors
20. Because I never won anything in my whole life and I'm 99 yrs old and only have a few days left to live


Reason I should get this card.


Because I just spent 10 minutes going through each response on here telling you why not to give it to them rather than why to give it to me! Rather genius if I say so myself Either way DH Rocks and GL suckers

I live in a third world country where the GDP are so low that poor people in the West that claim they live in poverty will feel otherwise.

My current VGA is still an nVidia 6800XT on AGP! The current pricing on computer prices are so overprice but nobody can't seem to do nothing about...

Please please let me have the card so I can at least enjoy life as it should be...
