Was using the PrimeNet manual entry page. It responded as expected to my input, but the response included the line - rate regulated at 0.50 Hz - What is that line telling me ??? mikus _ Unsubscribe list info --

Interesting to compare the performance numbers given for the Itanium running Glucas v2.8c against my Thunderbird running mprime v21.4 : - At the smallest FFT length, the Itanium is WAY faster. this performance difference decreases until - At FFTs 640K-2048K, the Itanium is a little

Tried the new V21 Linux version (p95v21x.zip). My original (35 um) Athlon got the same percentage speed increases that others have been reporting (did *not* have to explicity put in CpuSupportsPrefetch=1). One minor V21 difference: I was using the Advanced/Time option, and V20 would show each

One more possibility to keep in mind for Athlons: BIOS level (and perhaps also which motherboard). Don't have windows, so can't try the optimized prime95, but have noticed on timing runs with the V20 mprime that my new (ASUS A7M266) Athlon is now 2% slower than when I first got it. The only
