There are occasional announcements about overclocking various processors, and I know
that some Mersenne contributors describe their clock speed as xxx@yyy where yyyxxx
obviously.
However, surely this project is one where overclockers do more harm than good? When
you're running your favourite

couple of incorrect calculations creep in, but the Mersenne project
involves very long
My opinion is that it's better to have fewer correct results than to have
the central database poisoned by loads of "don't think it's prime, but the
user was overclocking" results, which of course cannot be distinguished from
perfect answers. I'd trade two unreliable answers for one honest

As long as even George overclocks, I don't feel really guilty about my

I would enjoy it if it would be possible to have a prime95 version with
a P-1 factoring assignments only option. My pc starts to crunch
(literally, really, it starts to peep intermittantly like as if it needs
