[runn3R]

I haven't checked all the answers which I received yet, it's under process.
Don't worry as nearly everyone will have the chance for the booby prize even if his answers were wrong.

But I think you aim for the main prizes, aren't you? 

[Raikiri]

Of course, unless the booby prizes are 5870s

To all winners: please PM me with your full name and address with subject "Shipment data for March 333 Quiz".

Here is the list of correct answers:
1. When you look at the model names of the latest series MB's (e.g. GA-790FXTA-UD5, GA-770TA-UD3) you'll notice "A" letter there. What is the meaning of it?
 
C) 333 Onboard Acceleration (SuperSpeed USB 3.0, SATA Revision 3.0 (6Gbps) and 3x USB power boost)
 
2. What is approximate bandwidth increase for USB 3.0 interface in comparison with USB 2.0?
 
B) 10 times
(It was quite easy to find for example at: http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/FileList/WebPage/mb_091020_333/tech_091020_333.htm)
 
3. Below you can see photo of 2 VGAs taken by thermal camera. Which one of them is built without GIGABYTE UDV (Ultra Durable VGA) technology?

Answer: L (left)
Explanation : it's hotter than right one and the question was to locate the VGA without UDV (UDV lowers temperature).

P.S. I noticed some users sent their replies two times. Anyone knows why? I took me some time to eliminate these doubled PM's to avoid higher chances for them. I wonder what to do next time with such users - eliminate them from the competition completely? I haven't done it now.

[bofh1971]

So pleased to have won
gives me an excuse to upgrade

and congrats to everyone else who won.

I never win this sort of thing, so its extra special to win such a great motherboard, which will be replacing my existing MA790XT UD4P

Have been searching for SATA III hdd's but looks like that will have to wait a while

Cheers everyone
and do let us know what the booby prize is

[Sublios_Pixelus]

woot I won a booby 

wonder what it will be though 

[kleefarr]

My 7 year old son recently got back from school and when I told him I had won a booby prize he giggled and asked when I would get the boobies. 

[Blazer]

I Won!!    
But it looks like I will have to forfit the prize because I live in Canada, so someone else can have my prize. (maybe one of the boobie prize winners)  
I was so looking forward to trying that graphics card out in my system though.
Oh well, Thanx for the oppertunity.
