There was a contest? Why was I not informed? I usually win these things.

Not alot of entries. You should of let us know. Someone here could of won the other. You'll have to do a penance of 500WUs under a random alias or forfeit you winnings to the nearest local teammate.

Its 3 gig dual core, should be nice and hot. Just noticed the mobo is ATI Crossfire. I guess its going to be a couple weeks till it gets here.

Just had to rma my mobo in sig so that rig is down for a while, two mabye three weeks I should be back up to speed!

Nice and hot is an understatment, mine was running at 70-75c on the stock heatsink..but it was a bit more reasonable with the jungle512(60c). Congrats, can't beat getting a dual core for free!!
