Guru3D 2008 Christmas Contest Every Christmas we have a little contest here at Guru3D.com This year we teamed up with the good people and Gigabyte Technology Netherlands and will give away a really nice combo. This year we have one big price, a reasonably sized upgrade as the winner of this years contest will receive not one but two prizes .. and they are: 1x GeForce GTX 260 OC 896 MB - Core 216 version (info). Gigabyte just launched this particular product with the 216 shader processors as well, but under yet another name, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 260 OC. And it's interesting when you think about it really, these are thus the 216 Core versions of the product, offering 10 maybe 15% more performance. 1x GA-EG43M-S2H motherboard (rev. 1.1) Core 2 Duo/Quad ready IntelG43 + ICH10 Chipset (info). The GMA X4500 is used in the G43 chipset while the GMA X4500HD is used in the G45 chipset and supports HD 1080p. GMA stands for Graphics Media Accelerator, and it supports DX10, HDCP, DVI, HDMI, D-Sub, and Intel's Clear Video Technology. The accompanying Southbridge for G45/G43 is the Intel ICH10R, which has support for 12 USB, gigabit Ethernet, high definition audio, 6 SATA and many more.
