In order to promote the Bigbruin.com Folding at Home (F@H) team, we're giving away a set of Kingston HyperX system memory. The winner will have their choice of either a 2GB 1150MHz DDR2 dual channel kit or a 2GB 1600MHz DDR3 dual channel kit. The contest is simple... In order to win you must first be a registered member of the Bigbruin.com forum. Entrants must then contribute at least 5000 points to the Bigbruin.com F@H team (#13848) between December 07, 2008 and December 30, 2008.

Nice prize.. but I hope it doesn't cause our team to loose its standing or points input!

Yes, nice prize indead!! And yes it will take some away over the period of the contest I do believe.


BUT, maybe something like this running on our site might entice members to get more active and bring our standing back up. 5000 points in 3 weeks is nothing to some of our big folders (our top 5 gets that in a day), but maybe offer some sort of prize to new or inactive folders getting back into it. Only downside I see is the waiting to see when you might get your winnings.

I haven't been folding for a while, mainly because of the heat buildup in my room, but it's nice and cold outside now, so I can just crack the window open.

Anyways, I'm going to fold this month to try to get the prize, and after that, I'm going to fold for the Motherboards.org team. (I haven't checked out the GPU client for a while, so I'm interested in how many Points Per Day I can get...)
