Hi,
I have had two machines with 64meg ram running seti/boinc for ages. Down/up loading fine. First one then the other gave the message that
'there was work but computer does not have enough memory' when trying to get more work. I have rebooted/changed the general preferences etc. Nope .. still not enough memory.

Has there been a change sneaked thru ...

I did have a disk space problem ages ago which I fixed and then all was well .. until now that is

Thanks

I know you get that message with LHC at home, because they want machines to have a certain amount of memory.

Thanks for the info in the thread. I dident know that a change had happened.
I guess in 5 years time we will wonder how a computer can work with less than 256meg ram.
The time of the small machines is passing ........

Hi all, Hi seti dev team!

I'd suggest that the memory limit is relaxed a bit so that machines having
exactly 64Mb of RAM can participate.

(Maybe 48Mb would be sufficient?)

Regards Hans

P.S:

I'm specifically asking this because I'd like to run seti on a xbox :o)

I agree. Allthough it only needs to be reduced to 60mb to allow machines with exactly 64mb of ram to participate.
