of the time I was standing next to Anand, ready to win an Athlon XP 2400+ or some speed of proc at an AMD event in Raleigh a few years ago. And ALL I HAD TO DO was answer this question about why Anand liked the NForce2 mobos so much from the article that he had just published (and that I had just read that day), and I just couldn't remember. Some other guy beat me to it (and truth be told, I probably wouldn't have remembered anyways, lol)... Damn that 4-layer PCB! ;)
Looking back, at least I got to meet Anand. Regardless of whether I won or not, it was cool enough to get the chance to chat with him. Nice guy from start to finish.
But I still miss winning that proc. Maybe NewEgg will hook me up this time, since I was too dumb to recall that interesting factoid about the Nforce boards. :)
From reding the rules for the sweepstakes it looks like you enter once for the contest and you are in hte drawing for everyday from then on. And since there is only one entry allowed per person, you only need to enter once.
Oh and I want to say this is a cool contest. And since there wasn't any previous announcement, I actually feel like I have a chance of winning one of those X2's.

Names of the winners were sent out by email earlier today...lucky bastards :)RobFDB - Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - link
That's always the thing that kills competitions for me on sites like Anand, it's always US only.Is it legal reasons that stop you expanding the competition to other countries, or is it a shipping issue?

You only need to enter your email address once to be entered for all 5 days of the contest.Take care,
Anand
