AMD Area-64
EQuito
SoCal, USA
Would you like to become one of the first 64 to receive an AMD Athlon™ 64 processor and witness firsthand the unveiling of our newest technology? Unlock the mystery being unveiled at area-64.com and you may get your chance.
Only 64 people will have the chance to purchase this package, which will include:
The highest performance AMD Athlon™ 64 processor, a top-of-the-line NVIDIA nForce3 Pro powered motherboard, and 1GB (2x512MB) of DDR400 memory from Kingston Technology.
Tickets to the invitation-only AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Launch Event on Sept. 23, 2003.
Unprecedented access to this event, the AMD64 technology, and the masterminds behind it.
All-expense paid travel & accommodations for the event. (see site for full details.)
It’s true. Starting today, and continuing for 8 days, eight packages per day will be available for the purchase price of $640—less than the cost of the chip alone. But once these 64 are gone, they’re gone. You must hurry! (Feeling lucky? You could try to instantly win one of 5,000 other prizes instead.)
You must prove yourself worthy by entering our vault at designated times and passing two tests to earn your place. The first vault opening will occur between 4pm and 5pm Eastern time. You must register on area-64.com in order to take part, and once you do you’ll receive daily updates from us to alert you every time the vault opens.

I merged the two threads together
AMD is sending out these emails........ I got one
Man, I hope I Don't win...I DID NOT want to buy one right now.......($640 sitting reserved in an account just in case....
NP!
Cheers!
A good chip and a terrible motherboard, and a vacation to offset it. heh.
Read through the Thread. Primesuspect and Thrax build and test a NF3 Motherboard based Opteron 144 system. The Asus SK8N is the only NF3 motherboard available.
Didn't Thrax said "a terrible motherboard"? as far as I can tell, he was talking about the soon to be release NVIDIA nForce3 Pro that AMD is giving away. That's the only motherboard mentioned in this thread...
/edit: I see you edited your post after my reply and added that little comment about some pseudo review.
I read the thread and I must admit that I didn't know there was an nForce3 board already out. Still, they didn't use an Athlon 64.
Q: can that board (940 pin socket) run the soon to be release A64? cause if I'm not mistaken, the pin count will be lower at first therefore the board AMD is giving away will different and possibly better.
Anyway, according to both "reviewers" (one of them can't even install HD rails properly), the performance wasn't terrible, some disappointment maybe but not terrible.
Is there a real review of this same board with an A64 anywhere? I'd like to see a comparison.
