trip report.
they had a LOT of people there, at least 300.
evga reps were there as well, and were very knowlegable about their product, which was good since i just bought one of their motherboards the other day!
they had a 3d theatre set up, with some demo's of true 3d, touted as being what will be in our homes in 10 years. Since you can do it with stock/fast nvidia boards and special shuttered glasses today, i guess they are right. This was very nice.
they also had the batman game set up on about 20 pc's and everyone got to play (big deal....but high scorer got a prize) And free pizza/cookes/brownies/soda/etc.
also gave away about a dozen video cards, including some of the newest ones that have a physics coprocessor on it (just another/slow gpu, but on the same board). Gave away some tshirts as well, and quite a few video games.
the goodie bag; im embarrased for them, as all it had was a small bag of m&m's, some red liquorise, a nvidia neck chain, and a nvidia knit hat to hold it all. they definately could have done better there.
a fun way to spend a couple hours!
