How can I choose a SB project manually and of a size small enough to see final result ASAP rather than a year from now?.
I'm using a OLD single processor 32 bit Win2k Pro machine.

SB is a project with numbers getting progressively larger, so you're a number of years too late. The small, shorter tests have already been completed.

If you're interested in looking for prime numbers, try Primegrid (http://www.primegrid.com/).

You could also look at Mersenneforum (http://www.mersenneforum.org/index.php) for discussion on various kinds of primes.

Finally, The Prime Pages (http://primes.utm.edu/). Have a look at the Prime Links section. There links to other software, including programs to find small primes.
