Hi everybody, I'm trying to use my office pc for the BOINC project; the pc isn't a 'monster' ( pentium 233MHz and 2Gb Hard Disk ) but I can leave it switched on all nights to processing work unit... when I try to download the WU, te server answer is the following: Requesting 278183 seconds of work Sending request to scheduler: http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi Scheduler RPC to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded Message from server: No work sent (there was work but your computer doesn't have enough memory) No work from project Etc. Etc. The preference has been set with 1Gb reserved on disk, and 0 Gb leaved at least. Someone can help me? Thanks a lot in advance. Alberico Baretta, Rome Italy |

Your problem isn't with the amount of disk space you have. Boinc requires > 64Mb of system memory to operate. |

Unfortunately your PC only has 64MB of RAM, and the OS would be using a very considerable amount of it (like most of it). Seti needs 64MB of ram just for itself (even though it doesn't use it all when it's running). Given you're running WinNT & it's a work computer, see if you can get the memory upgraded- WinNT would be much faster with 128MB of RAM there. Grant Darwin NT |
