I now have a netbook running WinXP, with an Atom N270 CPU which has 512kb L2 cache, and 512megs of DRAM. Is that sufficient to run SETI? >>RSM http://sciencespringe.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings |

It's more than enough to run Seti, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run it on that computer. |

Dont expect miracles fronm an Atom CPU, but it's WELL above the minimum you need. Maybe expect it to perform like a good P4 machine, and with optimised apps it should be pretty good. Ian |
