hi,
well, i fried a second P4 using GIMPS. first a 2Ghz P4, and now a 1.8Ghz . obviously the vendor has sold me a crappy machine with inadequate cooling/motherboard/something and i am now done with them and they will be giving me a full refund whether they like it or not. so now i am considering Mac OSX as well. my question to you is whether a dual-1Ghz OSX mac would have better or worse GIMPS performance than an adequately-cooled 2Ghz P4 linux or win98 PC. thank you, /eli _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
