Well, I have an XP1700 and an Asus A7V133 mobo so I'm not sure about the mobo. Oh! My thanks to David, it's an excellent prize!

ABIT KR7A-RAID is an excellent MoBo, it is an upgrade.

BTW, Zardon, there was really quite a few subscriptions

The Hammer is about to come out? No, not for quite a while. You're better off buying a machine now because the prices when it is released will be rather pricey.

So was the number drawn the same number chosen by the winner? Or was he the closest one? Just wondering cause I was going to pick 2762 but i chose 7672- How many entries were there altogether? Is there a final list?
I guess I just like stats.
Congrats on the win!
