Hi,
I'll likely be moving to a cable modem soon and intend to install a
machine to act as a firewall, likely a Linux box. Since it will be
sitting there all day doing nothing other than screening stuff between my
LAN and the 'Net, I thought I'd run mprime (if Linux) on it. Of course,

Hi,
I'm running Prime95 on a machine with a PII-400 doing LL tests. The
machine finished up an exponent in the 9,000,000 range (512K) and started
doing an LL test on an exponent around 828. I expected the iteration
times to speed up (384K or 448K, not sure which for the lower exponent),

GIMPS freezes my system after it runs for about 24 hours or so.

Finding new factors isn't hard. Over half of the candidates are eliminated
by finding a factor rather than the expensive LL test. GIMPS by default
assigns slower machines to do the factoring work. Thus, it is not
uncommon for powerful machines

Hi,
I'm running mprime (v19) on a dual-processor box (RH 6.0, very basic, no
graphical interface at installed) and am curious about the hit others take
when moving from using one to two processors. (People running duals under
NT are also welcomed to respond!)
If I run a single instance of

I just updated several Linux machines to mprime V19. I have all of my

were nearly down to having only 45 days worth of work remaining,
immediately contacted PrimeNet, got an additional exponent each, and
factored that

No. Whatever the problem was (I

I have a couple of non-overclocked Celeron 400 machines and, at the 384K
