    Does Home Premium properly support Hyper Threading? I may be mistaken but I thought it would only show you the threads but not actually utilize them.

    Even if that's not the case, why would you put anything short of Pro on a machine with a $1000 6 core processor?

    Curious, did you mean Win7? I don't mind Vista (actually on it now, haven't had the time or really the inclination to upgrade my desktop to Win7 yet), but it does seem a bit odd. I'd still take it and love it, even if you found a way to put OS X on it.

    I have been lurking here for 4 to 5 years without ever registering to comment. I really appreciate all you have written over the years, it has helped enhance my knowledge of technology in many more ways than I could possibly recall. This website has had the most neutral, level headed, competent, and complete coverage of technological innovations and inventions. Keep up the EXCELLENT work for the next 13!

    the fact that you simply copy-pasted it shows how much you really "care" about your non-US readers

    AnandTech is one of 3 websites I regularly visit to get my tech fix (tomshardware and fudzilla being the other two) and the one that always has the most in depth reviews and explanations of evolving hardware and it's issues. The explanations of the TRIM issue and random/read write problems with SSD's last year were priceless and I didn't find a better explanation of the problem anywhere on the web at the time. Always great reviews! Keep up the good work!

  • ericgl21 - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    I've seen and participated in a lot of international contests and give-aways, and besides of the prize's cost, there's shipment cost + customs fee + VAT. That is at most 5% of the prize's cost.

    Anand, please try to make future give-aways international. I'm sure the companies that give away those prizes can also handle the additional costs of international shipment.

    And I'm pretty sure that there's a considerable percentage of your readers that do not live in the US.

    I saw a link to Anand's site posted in Usenet about some kid's reviews on AMD's latest and greatest threat to Intel's CPU monopoly, and was hooked ever since. I remember the site counter being less than 2000 when I first visited, but quickly grew afterward. I previously would visit Tom's Hardware Page (when Tom ACTUALLY ran the site!) daily, but Anand's new site quickly became my new favorite (although it wasn't called Anandtech back then).

    New Site Layout

    I have to say I think the new site design is MUCH easier to read through and navigate. I find it easier to get to articles I want to read simply because of the fact that more of them are "posted" on the front page. Good work guys I like it.

    Anand, and everyone else:

    There's no other tech review site that I recommend more often to others, than Anandtech.com. Your reviews are extremely thorough, you're far more unbiased than I am, and the quality of your writing is much higher than most other blogs.

    13 more years!

    I’ve been reading this site for over 12 years. This is from back in the day of the Intel Pentium 133 and when having 8MB of RAM meant a high-end system. In fact, it was from this site where I learned to overclock my Celeron 300A to 450 MHz!

    I’ve been a faithful reader for this entire time, and always turn to Anandtech first when I want quality reviews or information on the latest technical toys. The content and continuous updates are always top-notch.

    OK, enough sucking-up… but I can’t help it, I really do appreciate this site!

    Thank you, Anand!!!

At other times it can become so overwhelming you feel like throwing in the towel.

    I usually build/upgrade my own systems, but I'd be happy to make an exception in this case. ;-)

    And, just for the record, I'd keep coming back to Anandtech for the articles, even if they never had another contest. Maybe Anand cringes when he reads his earliest articles, but he's always set the bar higher with every one he wrote. I've appreciated his desire to learn all that he can about the computer components that he is interested in and then pass this information along to the rest of us in very clear prose. He's also done a very good job of finding others to help him with this project as the site has grown. So, thank you, Anand.

    Possibly doing something silly like tri-monitor gaming, but sending the screens over the network with streammygame .

    Or running my entire house as virtual machines with remote/wireless monitors.

    I wish I could win such a system :(, oh well, hope it makes somebody very happy :) :)

  • Don Koharski - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    This is pretty much the system I was intending to build. (After FedEx smashed a near identical cheap refurb Alienware Area 51 I picked up on sale from Dell Outlet during their recent 25% off sale. Dell's remuneration choices were a full refund or sending me a replacement refurb of their choosing. When I asked whether I could look over the specifications of the replacement system before shipping, they told me no. Then they proceeded to tell me if I didn't like the system they sent, I had 21 days to send it back, with shipping at my expense and a 15% restocking fee. I took the refund. First time I've ever bought a pre-built system. I don't think I'm going to buy from Dell again.)

    I am grateful for all the work that goes into this site. I always use it to make my purchase decisions and learn about the tech world. You even give me a chance to win free stuff. Thanks!
  • STW - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    Thanks for 13 great years Anand and I hope to see many more. As I do not own a desktop I hope I am the lucky entry. The system is magnificently equipped, thanks Intel and iBuypower!

    I've been reading Anand since the beginning - I think you may have still been in high school at the time!
    Great stuff and some very good guidance over the years.

    Keep it comming!
  • GrJohnso - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    What more to say? Been holding off on jumping into the Core i# series of MB's and CPU's as my old q series runs fine at 4ghz... If it works, don't break it?

    Anyway, hard to believe AnandTech has been around 13 years now... Still my fav place to go for tech data...
  • mataichi - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    with free stuff
  • darkos - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    Of course, I hope I win the system, but, the odds are very against that happening.

    Good for you in making Anandtech as good as it is today.

    It's my favourite place to find out what is happening in the computer/tech related world.

    all the best for the future!

    Well I can't say I've read anandtech daily for 13 years - it has certainly been on my regular list for many years.

    In fact, I have come to rely on anandtech for a lot of solid information that is the foundation for me to investigate further. I appreciate that.

    And now I can't help myself but to enter the contest. My macbook pro is starting to look dusty and a new desktop sure would be sweet :)

    Congrats, Anand and all the others who you've worked with over the years. Feels like AnandTech is one of the few consistently honest and in-depth tech sites out there which is why I've been a ready for many years.

    Winning a system from you guys would just make AnandTech even better of course. :)

  • Icepop66 - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    Too bad we won't see a lot of software that will take advantage of even half these cores for a few years. Look for new titles with a new code base or existing titles like Adobe CS4 that do tasks that are well suited for parallel processing. Since we've hit the 4.0GHz/core barrier, the age of 64-bit hyper-threaded computing for mainstream apps is here. It is time for the gap between software capability and hardware capability to be closed, so the early adopters that pave the way for the rest of us, thx btw, can stop getting screwed out of their disposable income. Maybe we have h/w overkill all ready, but it is a natural progression both of tecnologists pushing the envelope and consumers wanting the latest and greatest performance cabability. Software must adapt or die. Might start being lean and mean again, like so many of those freeware gems that just get the job done. Just musing here.

    Anyway, sweet system, Nice giveaway. I hope I win!

    If nothing else, I've now signed up to commend on Anand's amazing articles. There's no way any consumer should purchase an SSD without the stamp of approval of Anand! I personally accuse him of forcing manufacturers to make SSD's worth our time! Back in teh days of the stuttering when Anand to OCZ to make a drive that is slower spec'd but doesn't stutter. He alone forced the manufacturers to right the wrongs that had come from the early JMicron controllers!

    Thanks Anand!

    $400 for a SCSI 4x CD Burner $200 for 3 gig HD or 128megs or RAM $500 for a Pentium 2 400 Slot 1.
    Remember the Voodoo II cards and their primitive SLI? 2 to go please.

    I have been reading your articles and lurking on your forums since about 2004. I have always appreciated your in depth reviews and attention to detail in the reviews. Your staff comes off as competent and down to earth in the reviews. I hope Anandtech is here to stay because I rely on you all to help me make decisions with my hard earned money. Nothing is worse than spending a bunch of cash on something and realizing you have made a serious error and should have ordered a different part.

    Of course giving away things for free doesn't hurt either.
  • aleckz - Monday, April 26, 2010 - link

    I'll admit, I just now registered on the site. I've been reading it for about 2 years though and have always enjoyed the depth of the articles and the fact that your reviewers will take the time to respond to comments by the readers. I actually first learned of the site from when I was reading a magazine in which you did a monthly article (CPU or something like that, I believe).

    Keep up the good work. Also, the site redesign = major win.

Every year for the last six, I tell myself I'm going to buy the parts and build the replacement for my original Monster Tower of Power - a 3.4ghz Intel Northwood C Series beast that I always felt was a Gallatin Extreme Edition in disguise. Finally a worthy successor the Intel i980x 6-Core Gulftown - the wait is over !

    I have been reading your reviews since 1999, a wealth of good information and fun times for all !

    Wow, I know I was an early adopter...I really thought AnandTech had been around longer than that. You say you started with no reviews, no nothing, but I could almost swear that there were postings on like CompuServe or something that started before GeoCities......but, as always, I *could* be wrong.

    Congratulations Anand!! And here's to many more years to follow!!

Your guides, your articles... everything on this site has helped me in one way or the other. It has truly been a memorable time for me.

And the fact that you are giving away an I7 980x is like rubbing salt on our injuries :( Hope you will have something for us too from now on.

    Keep up the good work.

I'm still stuck on a system from 2004 because every time I save up some money I end up having to divert the funds to something else. An engagement ring, baby furniture, car repair, a down payment for a new car because aforementioned car repair didn't really repair anything, rent, and now another baby on the way with more furniture and clothes and diapers, oh my. Please Anand, select me for your winner. I truly *need* this to help keep my sanity!

  • [email protected] - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - link

    Thanks for the years of hard work and good writing. This site has been one of my few favorites for hardware reviews and "tech news". I miss the price history tracking you used to have for hardware, as a family man on a budget, it helped to figure out the time to finally "buy-in" to the new tech, now I just use the 2-steps/2-generations down method. Thanks also to Intel and iBuyPower for the contest.

  • WeaselITB - Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - link

    Wow ... 13 years. It's crazy to think that 13 years ago we were drooling over Celery stalks that could hit 500MHz on a good day with a following wind and some inventive soldering. Now we're talking about mobile phones at 1GHz without being surprised.

    Here's to another 13!

    And guess who's left? Only you, honestly. And today I'm here checking out what to get for my next build, of course...

    3.33GHz and 6 GB?? That's so far from my current antique desktop, it isn't funny. I'm totally sold - and would love the chance to win - thanks!

    I would love to win this computer. Mine is about 5 years old and hangs up all the time. It seems as if I'm restarting it constantly. I have herd of the i7 cpu and from what I hear it is amazing. Never actually seen one in action though. You are going to make someone very happy :)

    I think that it is wonderful for a company that is into high tech gear to sponsor this contest. I hope to be the lucky person to be chosen to experience this very fast computer.
