Talk:Prime95
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article needs a rewrite, and a lot less crap that seems to be contributed by some super-nerd whose overclocked computer just passed Prime95. But seriously, it should have less stuff about how much better Prime95 is than all other things. 74.134.225.63 06:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Total Overhaul
The paragraph
Although it is hard to judge precisely how many people use Prime95 as a stability test, the adoption is almost universal. Most, if not all of the overclockers and people who want to make sure their computer is completely reliable are using or have used Prime95 in the past.
is by itself reason enough to rewrite this article. Maybe someone who worked on development or marketing for Prime95 can add something constructive, rather than this overclocker's self-flagellation. 199.121.156.50 03:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC) lol if they haven't used prime95(orthos >.>b) then they should
[edit] limits ?
I think the limits section is wrong or at least confusing. Does the author really mean exponents of 2^79oooooo, or mersenne numbers of this size?
In http://www.mersenne.org/whatsnew.txt we read that exponents of up to 500 million are supported.
And acronyms like "gpu" should be explained. if it means "graphical p.u." i'm not sure if this is true, either. — MFH:Talk 13:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Prime95.jpg
Image:Prime95.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
