From what I've read though, Windows will only make use of one core, unless a program specifies otherwise (64-bit Windows might be different).

If that's what needs to be done, then that's will shall be done... :-) Looking at the PrimeNet reports, seems it not only needs more LL testing than TF, but has a lot of very old first-time LL exponents. some having only a couple 1000 iterations done in over a year. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
