some not.  For some odd reason, those numbers have always fascinated me.  But I never for a moment considered that my having a number checked out from Primenet meant that nobody else had a right to test it - even if they beat me to a result.   Paul (Who hasn't written this much to the Mer

Interesting. My 400 MHz Celeron, working on 7450277 is getting 0.203 per iteration. This means we only got about 15% speed increase for an extra 200 MHz, and an improved architecture. Based on other benchmarks for the Athlon, I'd hoped to see more of an increase. Perhaps between 400 and 600 MH
