Down to 3rd place.  Person in second cranked up to seven computers.  Is away by over 100 wu. Tomorrow I will power on the Dell C6100 with 32 cores, they don't have AVX or FMA3, so I don't know how this will work out.  I'll keep you posted.

All this in favor of finding new primes in a competitive way to get people to participate!! ☺

Update:  Did not power up the Dell C6100. brought back a AMD 1090T with a Quadro FX3800, but that computers is doing gpu work, but not for this challenge, just another program under Primegrid.  I currently have 838 work units done so far.  Just using two FX 3800 and the AMD Firepro S10000. The S10000 is a workhorse!!

Down to third place ever since. Challenge lasts 14 hours more.
