DH Competition: Win A Rare X800 and 5x 4650 Cards

***craig5320*** · Feb 25, 2009, 12:12 PM

X800 and 4650 Competition
_______________________

Here's what Terry Makedon had to say in his latest interview with DriverHeaven:

"As a special gift to your readers I would like to give away a very rare collectible graphics card. Back in January 2006 we launched a contest with DH to give away 2 of 5 Dave Orton signed GPU’s (Dave was ATI’s former CEO by the way). The initial contest got 26,140 entries and 217,628 views... WOW.

In my drawer I have one more of these cards (not so useful for gaming any more but surely a gadget geek’s collectible dream object), and would like to offer it to a DriverHeaven reader. Same rules apply as in the original forum competition."

And if that’s not enough Terry will pick 5 random names to give away a RADEON HD 4650 1GB GPU donated by our good friends at Gigabyte!!! This particular card is Terry's current choice of GPU at home and is what he finds to be the best balance of performance, power, noise and features for his daily home computing (including gaming). Finally remember if you are using twitter or want to try it out to check out Twitter / CatalystMaker

See HERE for full details.

I have been using AMD/ATI products for over 10 years now and absolutely love them. Keep making products that are winners in price verses performance and they will have this customer for another 10 or more.

Warning viewing of DriverHeaven may cause extreme excitement. Operation of Heavy machinery is not recommended after or during use. If rash develops discontinue use and consult a physician. Women who are breast feeding, pregnant or may become pregnant should read threads to their spawn before or after birth so as they may become the next Terry Makedon and make me happy by giving me shinies!

PS sorry I have Nvidia graphics on my laptop it wasn't my choice.
