I set up Prime95 on my laptop to get timings for the benchmark page, and it
has started working on 4992583. Sadly, I don't run the laptop 24 hours a
day, the WinModem drivers slow Prime95 down by about a factor 1.5 (0.671
iteration times, as against 0.449), and so it's unlikely that I'll have the
number finished before Christmas.
I have on my desk at home a P2/350, which may well soon become an Athlon/800
given the way Athlon prices are going, which could finish this number within
a week. That machine, however, doesn't have an Internet connection. Can I
just copy the prime95 directory across and let rip, or do I have to do
something to stop prime95 from trying to contact Entropia?
