I've got two of 'em...  faster than my 486SX-25 laptop for GMP [1]
integer operations.

I should run some benchmarks and see how much faster they are than my
µVAX-II.  :)

[1] GMP = gnu multi-precision math libraries [2]
[2] I was searching for factors of Fermat numbers.  [3]
[3] Fermat numbers = 2^(2^n)+1
