Mushkin have decided to hold a contest for the purpose of finding a suitable name for their new and improved memory heatsink design (soon to be implemented on the full range of Mushkin memory products). There's no boundaries on who can enter this contest, in which you can be in with a chance to score yourself any Mushkin 1GB memory combination.

 

All you have to do is e-mail contest@mushkin.com between the 19th and 26th of this month with your opinion on what their latest heatsink design should be named, and if Mushkin approve of your naming scheme the most? it's free memory time for yoooou.

 


I would like to get your help to promote our New Heatsink. We are going to run a contest on our website to get endusers, customers, friends, reviewers to help give a name to our Heatsink. We have started shipping them with our REDLINE memory products. But starting next week, we will start shipping all our memory with the new design.

 

Please ask your readers, customers, friends and families to enter by submitting their entries to contest@mushkin.com. The contest will start Friday, August 19, 2005 and end Friday, August 26, 2005. The winner will be given, his or her choice of 1gig worth of memory.. ANY 1gig combination... 2x512mb or 1 signle 1gig module.

 

Thank you for your support. Have a good evening.
