Nice link Nasty.

Just to clear things up...it appears that you need to purchase another AMD motherboard to be able to purchase the *free* motherboard.

I only clarify this because it took me a bit to figure that out.  Perhaps I'm a dolt.  Perhaps I need more coffee.   :-\

If you're looking for that motherboard only, it can be found alone for 49.99 (after rebate) at newegg, versus the 57.99 at microcenter.

Ummmmm... No.


You need to buy a AMD boxed processor, which you can then plug into the free motherboard. ;)
