Thanks, I didn't even know about the FTP server. I'm curious, are beta builds of Prime95 for testing purposes only, or can they be used in the 10 mil. digit prime search?Don't make me frightened... I downloaded the 24.6 from some URL of the GIMPS download page (for Linux; seems to be vanished now), and it runs fine.
It's still on FTP server. Well, it was there yesterday. ;-) If it's beta just for testing purposes, it should be clearly said in readme.txt and/or in whatsnew.txt. It isn't, so I use faster version...
I just compared it with the 23.9 version (performance tests), and both seem to be equally fast (best fft times differed for 2048 FFT differed by approx. 1.3% - in both directions).
You're probably running mprime on the PIV machine, not on the Athlon, am I right?
