I am in This Contest dude
i really want this great 3D Card
i am in dude

Finally I have a chance to replace my GeForce 4600Ti and build new PC which has been asking me for upgrade for months now. :)

I'm here as usual....with my thanks in advance. ;)

I could really use that card.

I sooooooo need to replace my old Geforce2 GTS :-)

Ya I think a 7800gt might just work a little better than my original 64mb Geforce MX400. Maybe now I'll be able to play BF2? lol

Im in also....Plus this is a cool forum for a nerd like me! :)

I am in , could use a better card on this pc

Im in! I love these types of forums!

I'm in, once again :)

Hey Julio :P

Wow, This definately the best contest ever! I desperately need to replace my savage 8. Now i'll actually be able to play Quake4.

You guys think you have old cards, I have a 64MB integreated Intel card. I could really use a new one.

Hot digidy Julio you have out done yourself. Sweet contest with 4 sweet prizes :grinthumb

Awesome contest!! I’ve been lurk'n for far too long since the old school days of 3Dspotlight. Who remembers those days?

Thanks for giving me the motivation to off my duff and give something back to the community. I shall do my best to share with others and hopefully enlighten the geekdom.

This card will go well with a new computer that actually has PCI-Express shot. Oh my! My current system is an old faithful dell 8250 that I got for an awesome deal ($350) 3 years ago around thanksgiving. Imagine that gaming power! =) Recently I upgraded my Geforce ti200 to a Geforce 6200a. ohhh ahhh. Cant touch this na na na.

Keep up the good work and thanks for doing the content!

peace out,
chris

Hi all!
I've been a long time reader (stalker you could say even :p ) of Techspot (from way before,ahh the good old 3DSpotlight), but never really registered as a member...

Anyways, I'm so sad when I see great contests, yet I cannot enter them cause they're either restricted to EU countries or the USA, finnaly something with no geo. restrictions :p

I sure could use this 7800GT, I think my Riva TNT2 Ultra is W A Y past its time... sigh... The thing is , I almost have the money to buy a decent A64 rig, the 'only' thing missing is the money for the graphics card, and I really want to get myself something with which I could finally enjoy newer games. Guess this is my only choice or I'll have to wait till the summer or something
:(

If I do win, I'll post a screenie showing my Athlon T-Bird 1.2GHz with 256MB RAM and TNT2 Ultra 3DMark03 score and a screen with the 7800GT when i buy the new rig :) (this damn thing cant run 90% of newer games or Mark05, so it's gonna be only a 2003 bench :( )

I probably wont win anyway, but I can always dream (sigh, just imagine gaming on this POS rig I currently have, if the game even starts).

Thanks for giving me this chance :)

I had a decent card until UPS busted my poor FX5500 while shipping my pc back home, damned UPS doesnt want to pay for breaking it. If for some chance I win this hot sexy peice of hardware, please dont let UPS touch it.

It seems alot of us are running old AGP based systems, and even if one of us wins, we will need to get new mobo/cpu/memory in order to get this card running. I collected money in my piggy bank for past year for an upgrade, and this could help out much for me and perhaps i could spend little more on a better memory or more of it. :bounce:

Ya I definitely could use that 7800 card and replace my 5200 card lol. Maybe then quake 4 and my other games wont be so choppy.

I think the 7800 is even a better card than the currant card I have which is a 6800gt OC that will go to my wife in her pc. She is lagging behind with a gforce GTS 2x agp card. MY Kid will finnaly be able to play with all the bells on in need for speed.

great techspot giveaway, cheerrs to techspot

Right, I see a lot of our "long time contributing" friends are back. :rolleyes:

Anyways, keep the comments as interesting as possible, no spam posts, no flaming, no cursing, etc.

Quality, not quantity.

Someone say.... FREE STUFF?

Sign me up please.

count me in.

I would love a 7800gt... who wouldn't? :giddy:

I could use a great video card :)... Certainly beats my 5 year old, 8 MB one :P

yea sighn me up two, and for all the new people posting here welcome to techspot and enjoy your stay

Is it really true that we have to post 20+ times in this thread to be eligible for entry? I just want that clarified.

I want to be in the contest! Hopefully I can make useful and insightful posts :-)

here i go .... :approve:
:grinthumb techspot
good question, will posts here be in count..... for the contest

You don't have to worry about anything everyone. I've already got this contest won :p

Crap, forgot I'm not allowed, I just get to sift through all the posts to make sure nothing goes wrong. So please keep them fun, interesting, and most of all, CLEAN! Remember this is a family forum, and I don't want any of you to hurt your chances at this awesome card by posting obsene things.

Enjoy and have a great holiday season!!

BTW
:wave:Welcome all newcomers to TechSpot:wave:
You'll find this a great home, see ya' around :)

I'm in! It's kind of ironic that I might get an upgrade from here, as these forumes helped me to build my current PC.

All people are taking the optimist (positive) side so I'll take the (negative) pessimistic side. My brother says this forum's news part sucks because most of them are old news and some are not very accurate. Btw, why Geforce 7800 GT, what one can do with this thing? I find Geforce 6600 GT to be good enough.

Seems like a fun way to enter a contest. Ive been visiting techspot regularly for atleast 2 years but never had the motivation to register as a member. It would be really great to win this card as I go to a tech school and we have no women so gaming is pretty much the only source of joy in my everyday life (haha). My roomate just got the very same one and the way that it runs FEAR makes me salivate. Thanks techspot!

Wohoo! So Julio, did I miss something, but are the posts directed to this contest ment to only be in the news section?

Thanks.

I am in! Will give me a great excuse to get that X2.

I am in This Contest dude
i really want this great 3D Card

Oh I am So IN for this upgrade... You guys are awesome! :hotbounce

Been thinking of an upgrade myself lately. Been playing FEAR on my Athlon 64 3000 with an ATI 9800 PRO, sure sucks having to play a game at 800x600, have not had to do that in sometime.

May the luck of the Irish be with me. HA HA

Im so in. Yea Boyz

sweet giveaway. Thanks for the contest.

Wohoo! So Julio, did I miss something, but are the posts directed to this contest ment to only be in the news section?

Thanks.
The reason is that we want to motivate users to post not only on the forums but also collaborate with insightful comments on the news. If done right, this could become yet another daily resource of info, but of course we need members participation :)

Don't discard the possibility of a forums-only contest later next year.

What a freakin easy competition just post in a forum! i need a new video card i have a 6600GT!

WHat the hell. Why not.

Winning these things (competitions in general) is not my speciality, but I post here and there on the frontpage news anyway. Might as well join in.

hey thanks for the contest, ill do my best to contribute. im looking at a pci-e mobo so something like this would be a great xmas gift when moneys tight. thanks.

I want that card! :wave: :giddy: :grinthumb

I'm up for a card, especially as I'm stuck on a radeon x300 atm

I surely could use one of these, count me in.

Hello and thanks for the giveaway. :) Like many others who've posted, this would be the perfect gift for me as the cost of moving to PCI-e has been holding up my upgrade for a while now.

Have you decided upon the specifics of shipping? (what company etc.) And if I win somehow, would you add a 'GIFT' note on the package? :grinthumb (I've had trouble with stuff getting stuck at customs before)

Awesome! Count me in toooooo :slurp:

I'm in for the duration :)
