I've got my friend's 450MHz PII Aptiva with 256Meg ram running Prime95
under Win98. I'm seeing minor interference on the display when Prime is
running. If I stop Prime the interference stops. Not much else is
running 99% of the time so it's an ideal GIMPS machine but I'm bothered
by the affect

this is a test. again, sorry for the spam.

Me too :) That's why I factor. I've got about 8 machines factoring (from
PII 266 all the way up to PIII 500). Still...someone has managed to push me
down to number 4 on the factoring top 100. I'll catch up though! :)
I've mothballed a middling-speed non-Intel machine. That machine
could have been participating in GIMPS, but I chose not to have
it do so any more. The reason - I resent feeling "pressured" by
expiration requirements and contact-every-xx-days requirements.
That machine is not normally connecte

I've been reading up on the P-1 method ... am I missing something?
For a Mersenne number 2^n-1 with n prime we know that all the factors
are of the form 2kn+1 for some integer k. So the factorization of p-1
_must_ include at least one factor equal to n.
But the text leads me to believe that th

Not very well.
However, the FFT itself is very amenable to parallel processing
techniques - on a processor with N independent compu

No particular quotes - lots have people have had interesting and
relevant things to say.
1) I have no problem with the likes of David Campeau (aka
diamonddave) as, whatever systems he is using, the exponents seem to
get cleared in a reasonable time (_much_ faster than the reports
indicate) -
