ABIT SETI@HOME CONTEST

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.  Monday, October 9, 2000—The SETI@HOME Contest has been a great success.  Prior to releasing a Press Release supporting the SETI@HOME program, the ABIT team had 12 members.  In just more than a month after launching, the ABIT SETI Team grew to include 881 people.  Today, that number tops 1200.  Among contributing companies with fewer than 1000 employees, ABIT is the number 2 producer.  Total CPU time of the ABIT team, which totaled about 57 years 2 months ago, now stands at more than 450 years and continues to grow quickly.

As mentioned in an earlier Press Release, ABIT will also be sending prizes to a lucky member of the ABIT SETI team each month.  This month’s and last month’s prizes were ABIT’s new KT7-RAID.  The KT7-RAID with ATA/100, RAID, 3-Phase Power and active cooling on the Northbridge is widely regarded as the best Socket A motherboard on the market.

And finally, what all of you are waiting for; the winners of the KT7-RAID.  And the winners are   Rich Erickson of the United States and Mike Hoffmann of Germany.  Both were very happy when contacted by ABIT about winning this board.
