I was assigned factoring work. How can I get primality testing work instead?
By default, the program assigns Lucas-Lehmer tests to 300 MHz or faster Pentium computers. Double-checking is assigned to PCs faster than 90 MHz. A 200MHz Pentium running 6 hours a day is considered a 50 MHz Pentium. You can override this default behavior in the Test/Primenet dialog box. However, be aware that a Cyrix, K5, or 486 will take years of non-stop work to complete a single Lucas-Lehmer test. Visit the benchmark page to make sure you have the patience to run primality tests. I recommend making sure you have the correct options set in the Options/CPU dialog box and not overriding the default behavior.
