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.
