Finally upgraded the old computer to a 2.8 P4 800mhz bus. I started comparing the performance of the new computer to the old P3 ~933 mhz.
It was considerably faster. I've been participating since '96. Not long after the Intel FP fiasco. Usually 1 computer sometimes 2 depending on how things have gone. I've clocked about 78 P90 years so far. From my calculations this new computer will give me over 80 P90 years a year. I know lots of inprovements have been made with the code, and I haven't upgraded my machine in 3 years, but the increase is staggering. It appears that if we started this project over from ground zero It would take about a year to get back to our current level. Just think how fast you could calculate 2^1mil-1 range number. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
