I sparked RAM and instantly got easter egg... it got gliched a bit and sayed "Welcome toe tothe Glorious PC Masterrace you filthy Troglodyte! 1.Get your mind probed again 2.Run away 3.Blow up computer in revenge"

demonman200, As for making the computer explode, I just mapped some WIFI to one of the unused char addresses. 001111 to be exact. xD So the instruction is actually 100001010011010011010011001111

Really good and easy to manipulate :) +1

Yes....

The compromise being that small numbers (say 5 x 15 for example), will also take 12 minutes. There might be a way to detect the bit length and reduce the time taken for smaller numbers.

If I implemented simple repeated addition, it would take the better part of 12 hours to calculate something like 18282 x 29839
-
Considering it's multiplying two 29 bit integers, at 1.5hertz, I would say it's pretty good speed. I would like to modify the implementation a little in the future to cut down on memory access, and possibly improve it to 5 minutes.

This is a very cool computer! A couple things to say: First, is there a processor instruction for the "easter egg"? How did you do that? Second, multiplication is pretty slow. Do you have a hardware multiplier or is it software (i.e. repeated addition)?
