Factor Override

ValerieVonck · 2005-12-25, 12:49

Hello everyone!

After my range for Riesel Sieve is done, I am thinking about switching to factoring for Mersenne factor testing.

One small question, may I use FactorOverride in my prime.ini file?
May set it to 66?

Regards,
C.

Please don't, FactorOverride doesn't work well with the server.

Try Lone Mersenne Hunters if you'd like to factor to lower levels.

Ok, I will not use FactorOverride in my prime.ini then.
I still want to contribute something to the Mersenne effort.

Wich type of work is suitable for a P4 2.4Ghz // 512 Mb Ram, who is not always on 24/7? So that I can contribute something?

Tx

Congrats with the new Prime!

You can do normal factoring from the server, doublechecks or first-time test. The expected time on your computer would be: 24hrs, 9 days, 30 days (approximately if computer was on 24/7).

Your choice.

Ok, I will try factoring first.
