The best answer hence the "take your time, you only get one entry so you cant edit" bit
Any Edits will be void from the comp, saves people reading answers and getting ideas
so can we edit an entry to make it not an entry, then post a new entry?

Affordable, versatile and with more than enough processing power to meet any demand! The AMD A10 5800K APU with it's integrated Radeon 6000 series GPU is all you'll ever need for a great HTPC... No other solution compares

Can you say the judging criteria?

It means that I could scrap my old loud noisy Intel celeron based HTPC behind my TV. Get a smaller case and put 1 of these in without a GPU and use a lower watt power supply to make a truley silent HTPC. Its cheaper than an intel based solution a lot more power than needed.

Nope
If I said what the exact criteria was then everyone would essentially be saying the same thing. We need some people to completely not get it, it makes reading the entry's amusing

The new Trinity APU would help me pull women better. At the moment they rock up to my house, hot and horny but instantly go cold when they see the ancient intel branded HTPC that sits in my living room, sheepishly I explain to them that Im waiting for AMD's new media powerhouse to be launched but I can see the look in their eyes, looking for an escape route out of this web of deceit "you told me you had a great media system Mark! Knickers are staying on tonight now!" their eyes seem to say.

The new Trinity APU would benefit me by replacing my current HTPC setup mainly because of it being so much more power efficent than what I currently have in there (which will maybe get my landlady off my back regarding it being on all the time!), coupled with the fact it doesn't need a dedicated graphics card! That and I feel kind of bad for abandoning them after the Core2's came out

Fellow comrades, these new chips would have a positive effect on not just myself but the world. Comrades, how long have we idly sat by and hoped that AMDs latest offering would enable us to play games at decent frame rates with bells and whistles only to have our hopes dashed with subpar performance! No longer! Finally comrades we will be able to game on AMD, thus helping rid the world of Intels monopoly by using the first credible alternative to have hit the market in a long while! Buy Trinity! Help crush the capitalist monopoly! Buy AMD! Long live the revolution!

T'was a cold Winters morn when i first discovered my true love for AMD. We met in a bar, our eyes met. She was the one for me. We stared at eachother, enjoying out two day old ribena fruit juices, that i kindly supplied. It is this generousity that makes me special. I took her back to my house, a cold dingy shack in the woods. It wasn't much, but it was home. I lit the wood burner, the smell of the fumes and my three day BO filled the air, filling our lungs with smoke and general filth. AMD sat next to me on my bed, her long flowing hair gracefully resting unpon her shoulders. I tucked her hair behind her ear, i reached in for a kiss. My heart was racing, i knew i shouldn't have eaten that limited edition caramel mars bar, my glucose levels were through the roof... I blacked out, I awoke in a strange location. A bed, My Bed?
I then realised i was a 46 year old woman from Cardiff who worked as a local green grocer, those ribenas must have sent me over the edge.

Nope as per the OP.
Once you have made an entry that is it. Any edit of that post to amend content (except for say spelling mistakes) will be void.
This can be checked.

The benefits to the new APUs by AMD and Gigabytes new F2A85X-UP4 A85X Chipset Motherboard have over the previous Llano APUs and older FM1 chipsets are:
- Excellent and affordable entry 3D rendering power.
- Decent expected iGPU clocking with all three of my chips managing a 25% or greater frequency increase.
- Low platform price.
- NEW Piledriver CPU core design
- Support for up to two VGAs in CrossfireX with supported board products
- Updated with VLIW4 GPU shader core design
- Support for 3+1 Eyefinity display connectivity
- Turbo CORE 3.0 for both CPU and GPU
It will be a great upgrade from my 6 years old PC, it will allow me to finish my work faster because I'm a Adobe Flash developer and I can't finish any late work at home because of my old and slow PC which causes me huge problems at work and it will also allow me to play games in high frame rates and ultra quality settings
So winning this contest will help me a lot at work as well as at home

These lates A10 CPUs from AMD will undoubtedly play all the games out there right now, being the best integrated GPU there is in an blistering fast quad core CPU. It is more certainly worth the punt in going for one of these, It will not disappoint!.

- Being able to watch fluid 3D 1080p massive files would be the biggest benefit since sliced bread.
- Low power in a HTPC (which im willing to do a build log of)
- No need for dedicated GPU as this baby rocks!
- No more spending ages trying to get things setup only to find you lacking in power
- Build a small form factor HTPC
- Better 23.976 support
- Just all round AWESOMENESS!

My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. With an A10 and F2A85 we will hit.
