Scorcho Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/SellAM...58_3063,00.html besides getting first-hand information straight from the horses mouth of AMD's current technology and it's future. besides drooling over all the technology thrown at you by Abit, Soyo, nVidia and others. besides all the cool pens and the free dinner they provide. the real reason to register and go to the tour is simple - winning the prizes they're raffling off. you can only enter once and you can only win once (sadly), but the amount and type of items they're giving away are staggering. i'm sure that this will change from city to city, but on the NY leg, they gave away 4 AMD 2000+ XP chips, 2 1200(?) Duron Chips, 4 motherboards (from low to high end), a monitor, a Geforce4 and an ATI Radeon 7500, and a barebones XP system. btw, i won an 2000+ XP and my friend won the new Abit KT333 motherboard i'm not sure if it's too late to register, but do it. about 100 people showed up (mostly resellers and sys admins), and about 1/4 of them left before the show was up. it's 6 hours long, and it does get boring for stretches of time, but the food is free, and it's pretty fun goofing at the announcers while they're on. make sure you stay to the end though - that's when they give away the products. it's a long 6 hours, but it's worth it now i just have to buy a new motherboard.
