What are the minimum requirements to run HCC? I have two older pooters that I would like to run it on (if they meet the requirements AND if I can sneaker net them).

For Help Conquer Cancer, the minimum requirements are:
* At least 250 MB RAM (with virtual memory enabled) * 200 MB Hard Disk Drive with at least 50 MB available for use * The ability to display 8-bit graphics at 800x600 resolution * An Internet connection with minimum 40kpbs speed * Operating System: Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista However: you may be able to get around the Internet requirement, and you may be able to run it with 128 MB RAM if you set your profile to "Maximum Output". |

Did, I've noticed that my two Celeron & Duron computers take two to three times longer than the Pentium & Athlon computers to crunch this project. Given the apparent heavy floating point processor requirement, the techs might want to add the need for a true FPU to this project requirements.

HCC is very slow on Mendocino Celerons, which I use on BP6 board...nice typeing machine & some browsing...but I trhink I will disable the HCC crunching, 'cause it usually overshoots (not finishes in time!)...
----------------------------------------maybe WCG could prolonge the Deadline for the HCC...'cause it's nice for the slower machines with low RAM...but takes time to finishes... |

What I notice is anything pc100 or less than ~1ghz should move to DDDT. All multi-core machines to FAAH or HPF project. All the rest run HCC. In any case HCC should not be hyperthreaded.
----------------------------------------It helps get rid of the slows.     |
