Socket 939 Alliance Recognition

Thats really cool that AMD has done this :) And is recognizing some of our more vocally supportive 939 members.

I too was wondering about this. Yes they decided to give some free stuff to a few people, but it doesn't help us get new cpus that are socket 939. They were probably just trying to clean off some shelf space in the warehouse.

People never cease to amaze me sometimes. AMD just gave away ~$2500 worth of stuff, and all you have to say is that? Nice....nice :rolleyes:

its cool that AMD does see enthusiasts as that.

auctually as a member of hardforum its an interesting experience to see the representatives of the brands I buy showing up to help out or on occasion hand out.

I figured this would come up. :) Although we're not giving out super neat toys on the [H] like the 939'ers, AMD is well aware of the 754 group and has recognized us as well, if not more so due to being the first group, and having the largest AMD thread on here, etc. However, we don't want this thing to spiral into other companies grabbing other groups and giving stuff away, other people making threads like "Love your *insert hardware here*" and trying to get PR from it. This is just a way for AMD to say thanks to those of us who are die-hard AMD fans and has nothing to do with any type of marketing ploy/etc. and imo, it needs to stay that way. :) And besides, giving away 939 boards to 754 users would be blasphemy! :eek: :D

But yes, I have been in contact with Chris as well. :cool:

 
dont get me wrong, when it comes to free stuff I have the morals of an alley-cat.

If a C2D, a 975x MB and 4 GB of low latency DDR2 showed up on my doorstop, id change my configuration faster than brittany spears changes her hairstyle!

The PR person for intel can PM me for the address.... :D

Yes, you are right, tsue. Chris told me this as well. He didn't want this to be an advertising campaign, just a thanks to the members of our little club and the supporters of AMD. I think it is a great thing when used in moderation.

Guys, if you have won, please PM me; so far I only have heard back from 5 of you, winners.

AMD[H]unter what happens if they don't contact you in a certain amount of time?

Is there going to be a possible redraw of new names?


And congrats to the winners!!!
 
Snake, I am not sure, but I will give them a couple weeks to contact me. If they don't, I will have Kyle re-draw the names.
 
939 will be around for a while as long as I can get a lan party mobo for my 4000+ sandy :)
 
Do you really need anything more than a socket 939? To me they were the perfect socket.
 
I own a 939, I wanna join, I want swag. ;o)

My schwag just arrived, that's some lightning fast shipping :D

Edit: I opened the box just now after getting home from class...it wasn't the swag...it was a box of pillows (part of a new comforter set). Darn you Bed Bath and Beyond for getting my hopes up!
