What is the probability that I will find a Mersenne Prime?
insufficient information to answer that. We don't know how many machines you
have running, how fast they are, or anything else.
A modern PC (say, 3.8Ghz p4) working 24/7 crunches through a current range
candidate in about 2 weeks, so will do about 25/year. This project has the
equivalent of 1000s of these running, and so far as discovered 8 Mersenne Primes.
