Umm. Last time I checked, it seemed to be a waste of an SSE2 system to be running trial factoring ... the LL testing performance is so good that they really should be doing that. If you calculate (P90 cpu years/week factoring)/(P90 cpu years/week LL testing) then I'll think you'll find PII/66 MHz FSB & PPGA Celeron systems are the "best" trial factoring systems.
