Can I put a suggestion to the group..
I feel it is ridiculous that George has to beg/borrow the latest
architecture in order to optimise Prime95. I also know from being a member
of the prime search community for the last three years the amount of hard
work George puts into the project.

For those Athlon owners that are not seeing a speed boost, try setting
CpuSupportsPrefetch=1
I also needed to do this on my C700 under WinMe to get
the expected speed boost. Timings dropped from 0.260 sec
at 640K to 0.188 sec. Nice work!
Alas, my dual-p3 office

Hi all,
Now the bad news. The Athlon also supports these memory prefetch
instructions but the one user who tried it reported no gain. Also, the new
executable may also be slightly slower on the P-II and Celeron 1 as it must
ignore these prefetch

I've added these hints to prime95 and
am getting about a 20% performance boost.
My turn to report! :-)
