you build a computer whose purpose is solely for GIMPS.
speaking of which, what would such a computer be like?
(i.e. perhaps large FPU units (WITH DOUBLE PRECISION :D), a "prime95 OS" :D, very good cooling, Lx caches designed to have just enough capacity to a certain FFT length?)

For reasons that are not important in this thread GIMPS reports your new Quad in your CPU Report three times ... and for a second you start to drool.
