It would only apply to SSE2 machines that want to run factoring. We can't force SSE2 owners to run LL if they want to run factoring. At least this would put the SSE2 power where it shines in factoring, instead of the bit ranges where it is abysmally bad.On Sunday 26 January 2003 19:55, Mary K.

Last time I checked, it seemed to be a waste of an SSE2 system to be running trial factoring ... the LL testing performance is so good that they really should be doing that.
