That's interesting because I calculated M37 = 2^3021377-1 (909526 digits) on a 2.6 GHz pentium 4 using my own C++ class to represent large ints and it about 2 hours. I calculated the same thing on _www.sagenb.org_ (http://www.sagenb.org) and it took about 6 minutes! Well, I suppose 4 Xeon cores is a mini cluster of sorts. Regards, A. Jorge Garcia
