1) I would probably dance around naked for numerous hours, give my mo...nitor a hug, give [H] many thanks, and then promptly upgrade my s939 Opteron 148 motherboard and ram off of NewEgg to make a build that will run today's latest games on reasonable settings. Being a college student, you take all the free things you can and never take them for granted! =] Please make my life easier, I need to let off some steam and game!

2)Phenom
 
1. I would give it to my university's Student Help Desk, they are the ones that fix computers for free for the students. Being the manager there, it would be nice to have a faster server with a bigger hard drive for our department.

2. Phenom


Much luck to the two parties involved in this, it's always nice to see you two together in bed. ;)
 
1. Build the wife a proper rig where she wouldn't have to worry about BSOD'ing out of photoshop cause I got a little to agressive on the overclock.

2. Phenom of course.
 
1. I would buy an AM2 mobo/RAM/etc and get rid of my aging 939 setup, then OC the living crap out of it to see what it could do. AMD all the way, baby!
2. Phenom
 
1) My brother needs a new rig BAD.......he also need instructions as to overclocking.......
Yeah..........I'd sell it to him at a discount!!!!!:eek:

2) Penryn????? OK>>>>Phenom

3) if I win could I trade it for a couple of those spanky 3850 GPUs????
 
Buy all the supporting HW, mobo & DDR2, at least, which I do not yet own.

PHENOM.
 
1) I would build a new system with the 4 gb of ram that i will get (if it's not a price mistake, hehe), and get a nice Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and make a great overclocking rig

2) Phenom
 
1) Well, first I'd probably have a heart attack because I never win anything, but my brother always does so it's not really fair... maybe I should get him to enter. (he won the dream machine at Quakecon). After I get over the shock that I actually won something in my life, I'd probably sell my "not that great" Biostar P35 board and "decent" Intel e4300 processor and get a nice new shiny 790FX board from DFI or Gigabyte. Heak, I might just give away my e4300 and Biostar. After finding out I won, I'd probably also buy some water cooling parts, and use some of the other water cooling parts from my brother's old computer. Then the madness would begin! Mwhahhaa! I'd clock that puppy up like there's no tomorrow! I would first go for beating Klye's whimpy 3.5ghz, and once I managed to reach that, I would focus on surpassing (cf)Eclipse's measly 4ghz. Of course if I did win, I'd take lots of pretty pictures of the overclocked processor (because they're so interesting to look at) and my Crucial Ballistix Tracer RAM and show them all to the great community we have here at [H]. Anyway, after surpassing (cf)Eclipse's 4ghz I'd first do a bunch of benchmarks to post on the forums, then I'd give a speech thanking all the wonderful people at HardOCP and Newegg.com for making this possible. I would try not to make the speech too long, but if this answer to the first question is anything to go by, who knows how long the speech would be?! Maybe I'd even get a webcam and do a "video-speech". If I did happen to win I'd try to make it interesting and funny but chances are if you're still reading this answer, you're already half asleep! (I know, I'm that good of a writer! I can make people fall asleep! :D) But if you're not already half asleep and you're still reading this, you're probably wondering "What the heak would he do after he gave his speech?!" Well, the answer is simple my friends... I'd go play Quake!

2.) That would be Phenom.
 
1.Fall to the ground and pray towards mecca (aka Sunnyvale, CA) then build the most bad-ass system around it.

2.Phenom
 
1. Finally upgrade this 4 year old computer. Best of all this would be free so the wife can stay off my back!(well almost, would still have to buy new RAM/Motherboard).

2. Phenom
 
1. I would use it to build my gf a new rig, since she sold her rig to purchase her kids things for christmas and to help out someone at her church.

2. Phenom! (Looking forward to it.)
 
1. Purchase a new mobo from newegg to replace my S939. Then purchase a new mobo after that when the quad cores are launched. And then I would go play poker to see if I could recoup my money ;)

2. Phenom, the reason why I havent upgraded yet.
 
1. If I won the chip, it would give me a reason to upgrade my slightly older Athlon XP 1800+ System. It has served me well through the years, though seeing now how many generations I am behind kinda makes me think I should probably update. Either or, the XP1800+ is still running fine.

2. Phenom
 
1) wait for the smoke to clear.... then, look out, here comes another rig!

2) oh yeah, Phenom, baby!
 
1. What would you do if you won an AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition CPU?
I am majoring in Interactive Media and have one semester of college left. I would love to build a new computer powered by the AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition CPU. I've been saving up to build a new computer but I don't think I'm going to have enough by the time I graduate. Receiving this processor as a freebie would help me out big time. Of course, I'd give my current desktop (see sig), to my little brother. I'm sure he'd appreciate it, especially since he's currently running a Pentium III 800 MHz machine.

2. What is the name of the new AMD next-generation desktop processor?
Phenom.
 
1. I would first give a BIG thanks to Newegg and [H]ardOCP for hosting the drawing and I then would go buy all the components necessary to build myself a new computer system (using the AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition as the processor) from the best computer store - Newegg.com. After building my new system I would make sure to pass down my current computer system down to my younger brother so he could play World of Warcraft in all it's glory (he's currently running on the original ATI Radeon - AGP interface).

2. Phenom.

Regardless of who wins, I just wanted to give a BIG thanks to Newegg and [H]ardOCP for hosting this drawing.
 
1. I'd add a new computer to my computing cluster that I use for chemical computing.

2. Phenom
 
1: I have been meaning to build a htpc for my whole new theater. Build it, oc the hell out of it and then go higher.

2: Phenom
 
1. Tattoo AMD on my arm. ( I will verify this with a video of me getting the tattoo and send it to You Tube)

2.Phenom
 
1.) I would find a way to make this promotion profitable for newegg, because obviously if I am given a new processor I head to newegg to get a killer aftermarket Heatsink...then I need a mobo, some ram, a 8800GT(once you guys drop em' to $250...you are killing me). I think I'd go antec 900 for the case and obviously a Corsair HX520.

2.) Phenom
 
1. I would purchase an AM2 motherboard on NewEgg and replace my current Core 2 Duo setup.

2. I'll go with what the audience voted... "Phenom", final answer. Did I win Regis?
 
1. Id finally get to build the enthusiast pc my brother deserves and wants, being the proud papa of a new baby boy. And it sure would come in handy for all the video editing he has to catch up on with the newborn.

2. Phenom
 
1. Give my Mom my AsRock 939 system (cause her NF7-S just got fried by lightening :eek:) and use the 5000+ to build myself a new system.
2. Phenom
 
1. I'd crap my pants, 'cause I never win anything that cool. Then I'd pass out. When I woke up and found out it was real, I'd rejoice and go on a mad shopping spree at newEgg to buy parts for the new build.

2. Phenom
 
1. I will buy ad space in my local newspaper and put I love [H] and Newegg!

2. Phenom
 
1. Of course like most [H] readers I would OC the hell out of it, it would be great to get my hands on an AMD again.. mmm unlocked multiplier.

2. Phenom!
 
1) Start a thread in Genmay, proclaiming my supreme awesomeness, and sharing pics of the new schwag. Then do some shopping to finish off a new system because I wouldn't have one to put the processor in. :D

2) Phenom.
 
I would build a system out of it to replace my p.o.s. at work (State University). Then I can finally program my web applications, and get some real work done in a timely fashion and not spend all day trying to sqeeze blood from a rock. Though they give faculty brand new super laptops, most of those turds cannot even use outlook.
 
1 - I would build a new desktop for my uncle who has fallen on some difficult times recently if blessed with a AMD Athlon X2 Black Edition. I have showed him several wish lists at newegg but we keep scaling back the budget, a free processor would really help.

2 - Phenom seems to be a popular answer for question # 2.
 
1. I would give my current computer to my older brother and build a new one from this new CPU.

2. Phenom
 
1) I would finally build a new computer so that I can enjoy games like Medieval II: Total War, Supreme Commander, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and Call of Duty 4!

2) AMD Phenom
 
1 I would build my wife a new computer becuase she has patiantly been useing my hand-me- downs for years..And It's about time she caught up..She lets me play..maybe she should too..It would be a bonding moment ..That and for all those little tiny screws she put in for me and my fat suasage fingers..

2. Phenom
 
I would run around and scream like a little girl. Tell best buy I quit cause I got a bomb ass processor and I don't need your discount no mo! Whip shit all over the walls cause I'm just freakin excited like crazy! Then buy a new mobo and vid card and play some CoD 4!
 
1. Probably buy a new motherboard, video card, RAM and power supply just to use it to it's full potential. Then buy Bioschock.
2. Phenom
 
1. Donate most of my blood so I could afford the system to go along with it. Then play CrYsis!!

2. Phenom
 
1. I'd piss my wife even more buy spending a bunch of money on a PC upgrade to get away from my current S939/AGP based system.

2. Phenom
