A couple of days ago my Win95 machine (Celeron 333) started having problems, the first symptom being sumout != sumin errors in Prime 95 (others started showing up in other s/w soon). After some fiddling around I found that removing one of my RAM DIMMs seemed to restore stability. The LL test on 10402361 is just short of 39% complete, with an expected completion date of 12 Sept. Is it worth the time of letting it complete? BTW, the Pentium 166 machine I use for factoring used to take about 2 days to go up to 2**64, and seemed to average about one factor per month, or a little less. When the limit on the numbers being received went up to 2**65 the time went up to about 10 days. I figured the rate of finding factors would drop to maybe a couple per year or so. But after two Mersenne numbers with no factor up to 2**65, the PC found two in less than hour. Who'd have thunk?
