Sorry I didnt read the preparation thread. So you basically want to allow everything before Geforce 6 ?

Doesnt really matter , because i believe all participants will use 6xxx series to compete.

But for typical reasons , the rule for this round applies to all gen cards up to 6xxx series.

Just to clarify,  desktop hardware includes mobile processors or not?

Also, GPU limited to 1 core?

Yes , you can use a mobile cpu.

Yes it's single gpu only (1 core).

It says single vga single gpu only, so the 6600GT Dual and all that are probably out? 

 

Yes , that rarity is out.

Removed the line with "only desktop processors". AFAIK there is no server hardware for Socket 754 anyway.

I also added a new restriction for single GPU only.

Wondering about bonus round. It says opens 15 June, but that has come and gone. What is the actual open date?

Normally ...

After the end of this round.

 

I didn't really do it that way (the assumption that will work ).

I don't have 3850 or 4650, on something even weaker I don't want to go.

X1950 of some variety would be your next option.

Again, what about muti cpu at bonus round?

Bonus Round

Mendocino cores only - Non Intel chipset motherboards - SDRAM - all other aspects free (meaning multi cpu allowed and slot-1 to socket 370 adapters allowed).
