thanks for the new forums, George. (fora?)
at work lately i've been trying to set up a dual-P4 win2k system with
prime95. but when it boots only one of the prime95 starts up when i
log in. both are set for start at bootup each with cpu-affinity
hard-coded.
i've tried with both 22.7 22.8 .
hello Pierre,
you might want to try a comprehensive memory hammer test,
such as walking 1s 0s .

hello Roland,
could the CPU be overheating? what is the ambient temperature in the
room? have you verified cpu fan and other case fans are operating?
is plenty of hot air exiting the power supply fan? P4 has thermal
protection which will slow selected areas of the chip, whichever
portions are
That's my only point. Rude, yes. Morally/ethically/legally
there's really no problem with doing it.
legally, who knows - maybe there will be a court case some day
if some awful person poaches the 10M exponent ...

hi Aaron,
thanks for clarifying your position! i'm a simpleton who lives often
below curb-height, and think poaching=stealing=wrong. this exponent
poaching seems like a sort of stealing to me and it would surely tick
me off vastly if i found my 33M exponent was checked in a day before

hi,
does anyone know why i see a ~25% iteration time increase by moving
from mprime v21a to mprime v21b. (i'm considering moving back to v21a
since it appears to run faster on my 900 Mhz redhat linux.)
regarding the fried P4 machines, the saga continues. despite repeated
requests for full
thanks Brian everyone who has responded
i do also have a 900 Mhz Athlon machine too - running redhat linux.
i now have my win98 1.8Ghz PC back, supposedly in working order,
supposedly the problem was some other s/w i had installed. :| i had
installed very little on it beyond prime95. so
hi,
well, i fried a second P4 using GIMPS. first a 2Ghz P4, and now a
1.8Ghz . obviously the vendor has sold me a crappy machine with
inadequate cooling/motherboard/something and i am now done with them
and they will be giving me a full refund whether they like it or not.
so now i am
thanks to Alex Kruppa for suggesting a better modification to the
beginning of a GIMPS theme song: GCD, FFT, PRIME! (say each
letter separately, singing to mickey mouse theme song tune.)
Mary, thanks for pointing out that prime95 counts cycles rather than
wall time, so that it will not be
here are some instances where i have damaged computers
by (capriciously?) running prime95!
1 - i just got my wife's toshiba laptop back from toshiba warranty
service. running prime95 for ~6 months on it caused the fan to die,
and then the laptop would overheat shutdown even without prime95
hi folks,
thanks for all the responses regarding my Frodo-style
cpu-slaying with prime95!
Mary, it's great that your dell laptop throttles back the cpu when it
overheats. that's smarter than my P4 desktop with Asus motherboard,
and also smarter than the toshiba 'satellite' laptop. if you
