September 25Sep 25 If i may proposeIt would be useful to also pay a bit more attention to the competition details regarding the minimum acceptable validation rules when using CPU-Z and GPU-Z.We should also establish clear moderation guidelines to address any potential shortcomings in this area.

I gave you plenty of time to Source your Hardware. See you in January.Just to sanity check, are we sticking a CPU platform restriction on the GPU benches too? I just worry it's otherwise going to be a 775 AGP board fest otherwise and it's probably more fun to keep to the proposed CPU platform for the sake of the competition.
