GIGABYTE UK is proud to introduce two fun ways in which you could WIN great prizes.
Please register today and join our Forum.
So, how can you WIN with GIGABYTE?
GigaQuiz
Join the fun and test your knowledge with GIGABYTE.
Answer the questions correctly and you could get yourself a 2GB USB Flash Drive.
(http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/upload/files/2GB%20pendrive%20small.jpg)
In fact, we have 20x 2GB USB Flash Drive to give-away and to make it even more interesting, the first three correct answers will receive an extra prize.
The GIGABYTE GM-M6800 Gaming mouse (http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Mouse/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2759&ProductName=GM-M6800).
(http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/upload/files/mouse_gm-m6800 .jpg)
All winners who have correctly answers all the questions, will randomly be picked.
The Questions (only one correct answer)
1. What are the most important advantages of 2oz Copper PCB found only on GIGABYTE motherboards?
a. Better rust resistance, reduced energy loss and lower EMI interference
b. Lower heat generation, lower PCB impedance and better electric current flow
c. Automatic recovery of BIOS in case of failure (DualBIOS), better data security and longer life of capacitors
2. What is GIGABYTE’s EZ-Share BIOS function?
a. Protects motherboards in case of a main BIOS failure
b. Lowers RDS on MOSFET where the BIOS is being stored
c. Enables saving, loading and sharing of BIOS settings/profiles with other users
Please send the reply by PM (Private Message) directly to me [runn3R] (http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=13) with subject “May GigaQuiz Answers”.
I will verify all the answers, but don’t leave it for the last moment, because you only have time from the 6th May to 31st May 2009 to send in your answers.
And don’t forget, that the first three correct answers will receive that extra GIGABYTE gaming mouse [GM-M6800].

I hope I didnt realise that I won too late =D.
I just logged into to my Emails today and dont know if I've been active enough here for the extra goodies :p
PM sent, now Gimmeh stuff!!!!!!
I want the beanie hat and back pack soooooooooooo much :-[
-
Hi bhavv
I am glad :) you read the email with notification finally.
PM received
-
Excellent, first day back in work after a month off was pretty rough until I saw this :)
-
Oh, I like this USB drive ... It is sooo tiny and easilly loosable lol.
That doesnt mtter because I dont use them much anymore. I just plugged it into my PC and activated Readyboost, not that I need it with 12 Gb of ram, but I have it so may as well make use of it.
But no lucky pack :'(
-
I got the flash drive today, thanks very much. I am giving it to my sister to use for her collegework, and also readyboost for her pc as she only has 512mb of ram (she avoids spending any money on anything but on clothes/jewellery etc...).
That guide book is quite useful, I like how it shows the features of each motherboard so you can see what you are paying extra for.
-
Yeah! Cheers guys go mine through the door on Saturday.
Well pleased!! ;D
-
lucky pack arrived today.
Missus has stole the coat and bag already. Fits her lappy nicely and the coat drowns me :P So win win for her plus means i get to look at buying more computer parts later this month :P
-
Stuff arrived today! BUT! ............Bex has sadface. It's XL and it's HUGE on me. I'm only a small/medium :(
~Bex

Hi Bex ;D You got to be wary of what you wish for ::)in earlier post :-*
I have a use for it, Swap you a flash drive? 8)
My flash drive arrived Sat morning, good job it was in a big envelope, Tis very small ain't it, but really neat, been put to use allready ;D
The brochure on the mobo's is very informative
-
Got my flash drive yesterday ;D how small??? :o
Thanks guys :)
@Bex - thats a shame... I was wondering if they (staff here at GBT) were going to ask about what size everyone who won was... I guess the philosophy was one size (XL) fits all :-\
And yeah, 10/10 for the brochure, so easy to pick out and understand all technologies involved
-
My flash drive arrived on sat too. Amazingly compact!?! :o
Great comp. Thanks!
-
