Back on topic, I had never set yes on an iPad until the other day actually (believe it or not). A friend brought one round and I was amazed at how far these things have got.

I once had a Palm Pilot years ago (and threw it away after a day or so)... So I was quite impressed to see one of these tiny things running a flight simulator, browsing the web and doing all manner of other neat stuff.

So again let me repeat, NO ONE SHOULD REGISTER AT ALL PERIOD, SO I CAN WIN ONE OF THESE...



Good on GA for doing a giveaway, rather a nice touch.

Just a shame Gigabyte don't make their own version (before Apple take over the world )

Well you can't be all things to all men, Gigabyte essentially makes motherboards, most of the rest is just branding, such as power supplies, GA, like Antec, Corsair and many others do not make any units themselves.

I am much happier having companies like Gigabyte investing time and human resources into core products, rather than doing a half-arse job with a plethora of dissimilar hardware

There are plenty of other manufacturers doing similar ipad style products
Gigabyte are involved in all manner of things including laptops , so its not too far fetched for such a product to be launched by GA

Yes I noticed with their latest notebook. Looks very nice actually.

I want Gigabyte to manufacture a Garlic Press with a nice silent pipe and 24 phase, so I can clock the crap out of it and end up with uber-nice pizza & pasta sauce

Hey, sounds tasty. Put me down for one.

great looking board hope this is way of the future nvdia or crossfire  , look forward to the AMD soloution for the new second genaration of  X6 chips that are comeing soon .as for the price it aint gold plated      .that will be intresting INTEL i7 guys   

[Dark Mantis]

Yes as you say it is a bit pricey even for the extras. I thought my UD7 was bad enough and then they brought out the UD9 and doubled the price
Nice board though if you can afford it and the four GPUs to boot.
Must admit I am looking forward to the 6xxx generation GPUs even if I can't affords one it will bring down the price of the 5xxx series and then I can get one of those

Hello,
I reckon that you're in with a good chance VenGanZa anyway, they can't exactly be flying out the door at that price. 
Regards,
Ali.

I am afraid he has no chance at all now as the competition finished weeks ago
