The oldest motherboard - what for ???

[MrMyst]

Anybody has idea why gigabyte wants to find the oldest mobo which is still working? here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,188.0.html As for me it's quite strange...

whats strange about it?

it says it's a competition where you can win fabulous prizes including a thermo-cup. post a picture of your oldest working gigabyte mobo and hope you win.

Seem other events like this in America. Can't remember which manufacturer it was now.

Prove their reliability most likely...

Wow that's a tempting set of prizes

I've got a Rev 1.0 GA-71XEH running in my Smoothwall machine.

Wonder if that's considered old enough?

[MrMyst]

yes it seems they want to prove their reliability.

@mycarsavw - go and place your mobo there, nobody else did it yet , so you have great chance to win.
unfortunately i don't have any old gigabyte mobo inside my pc, only a new one

yes it seems they want to prove their reliability.

LOL... I can confirm that this is NOT the case.

I realise this post is about 1 month old, but I think that I want to clarify this
This is purely a competition which GIGABYTE is running to encourage users to register.

Its not about reliability or anything else, just some fun and prizes to be won

Perhaps, but a company would always like some good publicity about how components they built donkeys years back are still chugging along.

i still got a sort off working pc with a pentium 2 233 in it. its just lacks a hard drive other than that it boots 98 and xp when they are installed

sucks to say its not gigabyte

I have a working ( last time I switched it on ) ZX81 somewhere - does that count?
