Hello, Mersenners; First of all, let me say that it is a thrill to be helping in the GIMPS. Getting more computing power for the search is the main reason my new linux system is a dual Celeron rather than a single. If all I ever do is LL tests of non-primes, that will be fine. That helps the cause, and I have no expectation of finding a prime. But finding a factor (or another factor) of a Mersenne number would seem more real. Is there any significant probability that two 500 MHz Celerons and one 333 MHz Celeron could accomplish such a feat in a couple of years? Just thought I'd ask.
