It's AMD's birthday and YOU get the presents. If you win.

It's a big day for AMD as it has just shipped its 500 millionth x86 processor. This milestone comes coincidently at the company's 40^th anniversary.

To celebrate this milestone and birthday, AMD is giving away presents! All you have to do is do the Twitter thing for a while with AMD and you could win one of four HP Pavilion dv2z notebooks.

The details from AMD are as follows:

• Follow AMD on Twitter (@AMD_Unprocessed), where a new question will be posted every other Monday beginning July 27.
• Send AMD the answer via a direct message to AMD’s twitter handle @AMD_Unprocessed.
• All eligible respondents will be entered into a drawing for an HP dv2z Notebook.
• AMD will give away four AMD processor-based HP Pavilion dv2z notebooks over eight weeks, so fans have ample opportunities to show off their extensive knowledge about the company.
