Hi ALL:
This is a letter I sent asking what happened to the prime numbers I was
working on. I am posting it here to remind people who are doing 10million digit
numbers to log on at least once a month to update there page so this doesn't happen to
them
Hi Lawrence,
I reviewed the

2. Which type of processor, memory etc will give the most bang for the buck?
We rarely see anything beyond P2-250's, so I would have to pay retail for
that.
Here is a calculation I did about six months ago

Isn't the factor itself verified?

Warning on K6's: As far as GIMPS is concerned they're not too good, because
the FPU is about half the speed of the Intel Pentium FPU. (If you run RC5
then they're as good, if not better, because they have very good integer
units).
K6 is not good at

Yes, it is. However, at least in the case of
Willamette(s) which is supposed to debut at 1.4GHz...
Remind me what a Willamette is again. All I know about are Merced (I mean,
Itanium), and the second-generation Itanium called McKinley.

Will Prime95 be rewritten to run on the Itanium, when it comes out? Seems to
me like 64-bit operation will speed it up significantly, as will the insane
amount of registers and floating point units and all the other

Trying to start a PrimeHunt on a Linux box, but can't find the Gnome
