I checked it out briefly, but couldn't get into it. It's a worthy project, IMO, with a good solid client, but it just didn't satisfy my stats fix That, along with WU's that can take a year or more made dnet much more appealing to me.

Ken_g6 is the only one I know of around here how has run it.

No, Viz, I ran Proth, not Prime95. Proth is less structured (read: you set it up and input WUs manually) but faster (it only takes months to get results. )

I was on it half a year ago

i actually tested 4 mersenne prime(took about 1 month for each) and that was on a Celeron 366 at 550

I run Prime95 on a couple of machines. I've been with the Mersenne project since 1996, when all of the "fetching and flushing" was done manually. Over there, my account name is kutens...

Recently, I've been doing factoring only (quicker results) and have climbed into the top 10 overall of factorers.

i was thinking of doing factoring also but then stopped since they count factoring as 'less' work done

although you do a factor in 1 day or 2
but overall they are count 5 hours work as 1 hours or something like that

that was why i tested the prime
takes a lot longer
but i feel better

I have a "team" in the top 100... (well it was in the top 100)

hmmm, have to go check it out. If you want, you could have it if you put TeamAnandtech on it

It's under jatwell btw...
