i'd like to post this outside of the Grid Forum, as it could be beneficial to any PCQ&A member.

Pwrguru is running a contest for people on the Grid team. the prize is a 2400 Athlon computer. The computer specs are as follows:
1. Standard case and 400w power supply
2. 40gig 7200rpm harddrive

4. Amd 2500 "barton core" cpu, 333 fsb, 512 L2 cache
5. 256mb 2700ddr non-ecc ram
6. "a" drive and basic cdrom drive...Might be a burner if they are
on sale
7. Windows XP home edition
8. Shipping anywhere on this planet..


The only rule is that to enter the contest you must be a contributing member of the team (you have plenty of time to do this :-) ), and that you continue to contribute after you receive the prize.

Let me see if I got this right.

You are GIVING a COMPUTER AWAY and PAYING the SHIPPING to the WINNER'S DOORSTEP.

And all you have to do is join UD, then join the GRID TEAM PC911, and let UD run.

Our names will be put in a hat and the name drawn out gets the puter.

But, that's not all, folks. If this giveaway goes well, there will be three more computers given away the rest of this year.

Good Grief,that is good news.:-) :clap: :clap: :lol:

Where did you hear that good news Mr Dubber? About 3 more.

And The Dubber Memorial Bumpathon Contest, er a I mean, Give-A-WHATEVER stands at:

LilJoe = 11
A_Thor = 10

EDIT: Now its 12 to 11...

I wonder if maybe----aw fergit it.}( :+

Someone wants me to give up.}(

Oh my goodness, this poor little thread was over on page 2. Well I guess I'll just have to make sure that it's right up front and center :+ :+ :+

After all, we would not want to deprive someone of the chance to win our new computer.....you know that AMD 2500 Barton core computer, complete with operating system and shipping to anywhere in the world.

Oh my, I think that this may be a b u m p :cool: :rolleyes:

I already have a computer, thanks. :-)

But it didn't come preloaded with XP, and United Devices cancer crunching agent!

You know this little program works away in the back ground with unused CPU cycles. If any other prog needs attention, it just gets out of the way. No way to even notice it is running.

It is a distributed computing project, testing the efficacy of promising molecules that bind to target cancer proteins. If University of Cambridge would have to rent mainframe time, it would be cost prohibitive to model.

That's where we volunteer. Mathmatical models are built and the work is broken up into small peices, called work units. Each agent then proccesses a WU dished out by Grid.org. The results are turned in and the data is checked and reassembled. Promissing leads will be followed up in the lab.

Your machine may just contribute results that lead to more effective drug treatments.

Now isn't that exciting ?

This little thread will be off the screen if someone doesn't make a post to it. ;-) }( Guess I will ;-)

Up to the top. Don't bother to read too much down the bottom, the good stuff is at the top of the page :7

Found this almost on the floor,decided to pick it up and put it where you will find it.:-)

Well I found it but I don't think it stayed where you put it so I am putting it back where you can find it again. :P

Hope others will have a look at this and see the great giveaway we are having in the basement. Come check it out in the UD Forum, I think you may just be happy ya did. :-) ;)

Just cruising through. :-)

This little thread keeps on getting lost. But with the help of Lil Joe and Jan we seem to keep on finding it.

Good job you found it this time Mick. It was on the floor again, thought I'd have to go searching through all the other pages for it. I'll put it back where it belong.

Wendy is right, the good stuff is ALWAYS at the top!

Wow, I couldn't find this and if I am looking for it and can't find it, I know others won't see it when they aren't looking for it. :lol:
