miggs78 Posted November 22, 2006 Everyone will have a chance of winning something regardless of the hardware or scores So Sho you mean, even if I get a very little score, I could be able to win something, sorry not trying to act kinda freebie, just asking you know. I know even if I take part, I will be trashed around, since my old AMD setup is no where comparable to the new Intel conroe setups you guys are putting up, and right now I'm kinda for upgrading. I would appreciate ur answer... please understand Shogan, even if your giving gifts for stupid scores lol , I'm just going to take as giving my 2 cents or jokes or any help I have given (not to compare the help I got from you pitstopers, you have helped me alot, and for sure I appreciate it). Thanks.. Miggs, we arent' giving gifts for stupid scores but stupid scores have as good a chance of winning the drawing as smart scores. Sho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
