Yes. BTW, if someone wants to improve the code in prime95 to properly identify AMD chips, I'd be glad to include it in a new release. Contact me and I'll point you at the code that needs tweaking. >Also, will the Prime95 FFT be recoded to take advantage of the AMD SSE2 >instructions like it was for the P4? No AMD chips support SSE2 instructions. When AMD does release such a chip, the program will be able to use them (either by lying and calling your CPU a P4 or by using the CpuSupportsSSE2 option described in undoc.txt. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
