Adrenaline-charged. Pulse-racing. Heart-pounding. This is M Festival 2008.

Whether you put the hardcore into gaming, or whether you and your son, or daughter, are shiny and new to it all, M Festival is where it’s at.

Get ready for maximum gaming mayhem. For giveaways and prizes. For the full-on extremity of the latest Intel® Core™2 Extreme technology.

That’s because, in association with the manufacturer, Scan, Intel is proud to present Quad Zone – four zones of sheer unadulterated gaming and IT frenzy.

ZONE 1 – MAINSTREAM BUT MASSIVE

Does your inner Lewis Hamilton or Slash want to come out to play?

From TrackMania* to Guitar Hero* III we have the biggest and best games.

XFX, the leading video card manufacturer, will also be here with another ultimate racing game. They’ll even bring along their very own Stig to rev it up to the max.

ZONE 2 – THE QUAD KNOCKOUT

So you think you’re hardcore?

Get a squad of five together, enter our team combat tournament, and each of you could win an Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor.

Be warned, though. We also have the latest immersive combat vests. You will feel the full force of every shot!

ZONE 3 – JAM WITH INTEL

Do you put the capital “M” into Music?

Then come along and jam with the Intel band.

Or see just how easy it to use the latest music software from Cakewalk*, which is powered by Intel Core 2 extreme technology.

ZONE 4 – OVERCLOCKING

Are you ready for our overclocking guru’s pair of extreme systems?

First: our 4.4GHz, 1.5kw-powered liquid cooled beast with 3 ATI* 4870 GPUs mounted on an Intel® Desktop Board D5400XS.

Second: our Skadi system has an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor QX9650, frozen down to -40°C. Plus a pair of liquid-cooled ATI* 4870 GPUs in CrossFireX*.

You can also pose questions to Intel experts, Benchtec. Or take our overclocking master classes and benchmark your PC.
