hi,
does anyone know why i see a ~25% iteration time increase by moving from mprime v21a to mprime v21b. (i'm considering moving back to v21a since it appears to run faster on my 900 Mhz redhat linux.) regarding the fried P4 machines, the saga continues. despite repeated requests for full refund the vendor is not doing that for me. so i am giving them a 4th chance - i am such a nice guy :| this time they are going to rebuild the system from scratch and put XP on it and load only a single piece of software on it before i start loading up "everything" on it: i'll load prime95 and run two copies of it, one doing doublechecks and the other doing huge exponents. and i'll use it as a surf-horse with (gack) IE for a month or so. if it survives that test i'll consider it to be ok, although i will be dreading what happens when the PC is running during 100 degree summertime temps! /e _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
