That was the order of the letters as they appeared in the videos.
Damn my scrabble minded head. Brats is the only word in the dictionary that can be made with those letters. One could argue it should have been implied that it was a combination of letters and not a word but I'm still on high from seeing Roger Waters last night so I'll just say Congrats! to the winners.
I thought about submitting STABR. With the ridiculous trend of Web 2.0 services removing the final vowel, I figured I should get in front of the crowd and start claiming my web stabbing service.
Yeah, i guess i was thrown off by the instructions said it would be a word. and barts isn't a word.
QFT.
I guess that's what I get for not being a hardware guy any more. Why, in my day...
Surprisingly, the $15 Radeon 4650 I have in my media center does everything I need it to do, including gaming... and all without needing to draw any more power than the PCIE slot can supply, a factor that I value highly. If only game designers would stop making them more graphically intense, I'd be set for life.
It's a real word. It's part of the Northern Islands GPU family which consists of GPUs named after the northern islands in the Carribean: (St.) Barts, Cayman and Antilles.

That's a retcon. Originally, it was going to be a series of GPUs named after tubular meats. Someone in the lab made a typo, changing "BRATS" to "BARTS" on an early demo unit, and rather than change the whole series to being misspelled tubular meats (the next GPU would have been changed to "PERREPONI") they tried to make sense of it all by changing the series to being named after islands.
