And just in 1,5 hour
That's pretty good. What's your method? I just compiled a slightly modified version (doesn't poll the timer, instead prints a prime every 64 k found) of mine and it's running in a background window on a 1.5 GHz machine...it's been on for a whopping 7 min 20 sec and the most recent prime is 19,562,177...at this rate, mine's not set to overflow the long integer until about 13 hrs.
I'd like to see your method...it kicks my methods ass. Is it a method that picks primes with high probability, or does it exhastively prove each prime? Anyway...we're up to 11 min, 30 sec and latest prime is.... 27,033,163...
