Free Money for Folding@home

Resident hater
evga, maker of motherboards, GPUs, and a few other computer components is running a promotion for folding@home. The promotion can earn up to $100 towards EVGA components. Just thought I would let others know. I already do folding@home, but it's a nice bonus. Free computer stuff is always nice.

in case you are not aware of folding@home, wiki has a nice writeup...

Folding@home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A noble cause.

Just for reference, running one of my GTX280's gets me about 7000 points per day, which would make me eligible for the $100 in 142 days. Yes, there is the cost of electricity (which is tax deductible BTW), but the $100 covers that pretty well.

Here is the download site. The advanced GPU download is the best if you have an NVidia 8 series or higher. If not, the CPU folding is not bad and should be enough to get to the 500,000 point promotion.
