    I've looked at that app briefly but didn't understand it very well, how is the command line we should use? I mean, what parameters do we use and how?

    Using the sr2sieve client, you need to have the SoB.dat file, and then create a sr2work.txt file. The format for the work file is, assuming a range of 666000 to 666200:
    666000,666200
    and each range on a separate line. With the 64-bit client, it is sr2sieve, but the name is different for the 32-bit as there is a client for intel, and amd. So I run it with the cmd line of;
    ./sr2sieve -s -vv
    in linux. I'm assuming it would be the same for windows only with out the period and slash. The work is output in a factors666000.txt file, which is then imported by using the psp sieveimport app;
    http://www.psp-project.de/sieveimport.php
    You have the option of either turning in the returned factors to the SOB site, or having the psp project turn them in for you. I have been having psp project turn them in to get credit for them as I'm only after the psp sieving points.

    amd-64's work very well in 64-bit linux. The Q6600 intel quads work very well accoring to VJS of ARS Technica. I'm just AMD myself.
