    well it's definatly a gfx card... of the nVidia variety, could be an bfg one, as the side is predominantly white...

    GTX 290?
    GTX 270?

    It's actually looks a bit more like RAM to me......

    The trouble is virtually all the remotely new Dual Slot nVidia GFX cards have the same I/O layout.

    Re: Google is your friend

    nvidia GTX260+ with extra shader processors.


    L is the roman numeral for 50.

    bug year is the year 2000 - is this the speed of the ram? 2000mhz.

    not sure about the 'sixth' bit, but the 'second largest' refers to the second largest nvidia card - the GTX260.

    not sure why you have the 'brea' tar pits - is that the temperature the card runs at - hot enough to melt rock!

    (sounds like a pile of poop this post, but its how my mind works and led me to the answer at the top of the post)

    Ooh Stevie is getting there... L is indeed the Roman numeral for 50...

    I'll expand a little on our deviousness here...

    btw, let me know if you like these cryptic clues, some are more devious than others...

    Re: Google is your friend

    location - hmm.

    aha.. sixth and second largest.. SATURN - sixth planet from the sun, second largest.. also the name of the street where EVGA are based.

    no idea about the noah clue, or the brea bit on the video.

    as you say Nick i'm getting close but my mind is geting messed up again, so i'll leave it there for tonight, resume again after pasties and sleep.

    Re: Google is your friend

    It's an EVGA GeForce GTX 260 FTW I think.

    "Noah - L + the bug year, on the sixth and second largest" Nick love the cryptics. Keep 'em coming, I just can't see my way round this one.

    Re: Google is your friend

    Just figured Noah. Noah died at 950.

    So 950 -50 +2000 = £2900. My prize money ???

    If not that then I reserve the right to a friend

    2900 is the address on Saturn street Damn

    Re: Google is your friend

    sorry, just saw the previous post about Saturn after I posted my message and it clicked. You most likely got that first.


    but where are people getting the brea bit from ??? Is it in the video or am I missing something?

    Hehe, you guys have got it... the Brea clue was to start you all off.

    Tak was REAL close with his guesses but I think we'll have to give it to Stevie with his guess of the 260GTX... it's the EVGA GeForce 260GT.

    New pipeline up for you to scratch your heads over on Monday.

    Re: Google is your friend

    mg: I'll just shut up. I see the Brea now kept misreading it as "break" And it's all part of EVGA's address too.
