Right now I'm running a Q6600. Two instances of the CPU client and two instances of the GPU client on a XFX 9800 GTX Black Edition. Probably won't be running more than one instance of each on my next startup.

You should be able to average 5000 pts per day without any trouble. Probably much better than that, but with multiple instances it will take a couple days before the points start piling up.

Is the winner randomly selected (person having 5000+ F@H Points)?

Jason can say for sure, but i believe the winner is randomly selected from participants who contributed at least 5000pts between 12/7 and 12/30. Not to be confused with people who "have" 5000pts or more but didn't contribute another 5000pts between the above dates.

Exactly. You just need 5,000 between December 7 and 30. Old points don't count (for this).

I was going to make the contest weighted in favor of those who folded more, but I figured keeping it simple and with an attainable value for most would work well...

Contest ends tomorrow! People with a higher end graphics card or quad core processor probably still have time to qualify! Cool
