I have a file with 32 million (32,000,000) digits of pi on my computer. There's a program called SuperPI that will generate it. I use it mainly for stability testing and as a benchmark. My PC did it in around 39 minutes.

Yep.

That prime one is pretty cool too.
/starts memorizing.

"congratualtions guys.. we found the highest prime number yet, and broke our record!! .. *crowds goes wild* ... ... *silence*.. ... ..*silence*.. ..*silence* .... *a guy, from the center of the crowd silently asks 'now what are we gonna do with it?' ... *silence*...."
