Only 64 people will have the chance to purchase this package, which will include:

The highest performance AMD Athlon™ 64 processor, a top-of-the-line NVIDIA nForce3 Pro powered motherboard, and 1GB (2x512MB) of DDR400 memory from Kingston Technology.
Tickets to the invitation-only AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Launch Event on Sept. 23, 2003.
Unprecedented access to this event, the AMD64 technology, and the masterminds behind it.
All-expense paid travel & accommodations for the event. (see site for full details.)
It’s true. Starting today, and continuing for 8 days, eight packages per day will be available for the purchase price of $640—less than the cost of the chip alone. But once these 64 are gone, they’re gone. You must hurry! (Feeling lucky? You could try to instantly win one of 5,000 other prizes instead.)

You must prove yourself worthy by entering our vault at designated times and passing two tests to earn your place. The first vault opening will occur between 4pm and 5pm Eastern time. You must register on www.area-64.com in order to take part, and once you do you’ll receive daily updates from us to alert you every time the vault opens.

Will you join the 64? Click here to begin your test or visit area-64.com now.

bugger.....I wish I had 640 and that I could afford to miss 3 days of class.

Although 640 may be worth it for the non-travel related prizes, I still can't afford it, lol.......

from what it looks like, my puny geforce3 will choke the hell out of that system, heh. I've been waiting for the 9900 to come out so I can buy a 9800pro for a decent price....if I spend 640 on a new mobo, ram, and chip, then I would kinda be screwed, heh....

and I wonder how laggy that site will be, heh.

Well, a minute left....mayhaps I will give it a try, but I'm sure that I won't be buying anything, heh.
 
Ya, I got an email too, but unfortunetly, I won't be 18 until the end of Nov. Oh well, hopefully they'll have an AMD event next year.
 
cuz its amd wont scam you... it'll be bad for their PR.. plus you know the 3 items they're giving away is worth way more than 640 dollars... the trip is just gravy on top of the hardware =d
 
I didn't win the trip but they still have daily drawings on a one click win or lose type game... I won a hat today ( :bday: ) but they are also giving out CPUs as well
