Hi.
I would like to thank for the fast responses to my previous question.
The drawback (for you) - here go another questions:
1. I'm probably leaving my computer for a week; I would like to have
Prime95 running all this time at its full speed. How can I set it to
the highest priority, or is it automatically using ALL available CPU
cycles? I don't use any screen saver, and I don't use any power
maganement (except for my monitor).
2. Is overclocking of my Celeron 333 a good idea? I probably can't do
it just now (EPoX P2-112A motherboard isn't made for such purposes),
but I could upgrade it in about 2-3 months' time.
3. How are the expected completion date and the chance that "my"
exponent is a prime computed?
4. How come there are 8180017 iterations for M8180017? Shouldn't
there be (p - 2) iterations for Mp (since we know L(1) and don't need
to know L(p))? Or am I missing somethig? Or do I just cavil at it,
and it is useful to know which Mp am I checking for a first glance at
Prime95 output (most probably)?
5. (To fellow Poles) Is there any ACTUAL mirror in Poland? How many
Poles participate in GIMPS?
Again, thanks in advance,
