that Prime95 wouldn't experience any gains from taking it into
account. Glad to see I was right all along. ;-)

).
So, will the Pentium 4 Northwood core (with 512KB L2 cache as
compared to the current Willamette's 256KB L2 cache) perform
even better on Prime95? Will there be a setting to tell Prime95
that a Willamette or Northwood core is specifically being used
(as opposed to just Pentium 4)?

a lot out of it.
Hmmm, that is a good idea. I will try to remember to design a little poster
on a sheet of paper and post some copies around campus before 3rd term
starts at Caltech.

it, AND a
hard drive, and a built-in broadband connection. All that would be required
is the ability to run arbitrary code from the hard drive, and poof, you have
something like a million potential boxes on which to run Prime95.

This 'Wonderful' compression technology maybe "Awesome"; however, MY main
objection or perhaps philosophy towards all of this is that Prime95 is
not a large
piece of code. It takes a relatively small amount of time to download
over
a modem
compared to other software items that we modem
and creates a .EXE file. The resulting .EXE file is executable,
just like the first, and behaves just like the original. It's
_transparent_, like I said.

(it needs local copies, no?).

Prime95's code (Win32/PE) will run a packed
Prime95, so I don't see platform dependence issues here. The compression is
completely transparent, and I don't understand your objection. The
executable itself is still standalone, and for distribution must be ZIPped
up with the other ancilliary files.
executable, it too becomes smaller: from 405953 bytes to 299756
bytes. This makes the download go quicker for everyone, which especially
matters to modem users, but is nice even for people with fast connections.
Awesome.
