Hi !

I used CLN lib on linux debian Woody and try now libcln3 on debian Sarge ( on a Athlon T-Bird 1GHz 400Mo RAM ). I think to buy a more recent PC computer. What kind of PC for CLN - processor INTEL or AMD - to execute speedly integer computations ? Is motherboard worthy ?

Even without x86-64 Assembler code, the use of 64 bit Digits gives an very impressive performance gain. If you buy such a machine, make sure to run int in 64 bit userland if arbitrary precision arithmetic is important for what you're doing. Regards -richy. -- Richard B.
