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 Nairb |

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 ........ Nairb |

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) |

Allthough it only needs to be reduced to 60mb to allow machines with exactly 64mb of ram to participate. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |
