Hallo,
my computer is not able to complete the work units in time so all is for the rubbish can. Is there a possibility to get smaller tasks (4 hours instead of 10?) |

The average work unit length has already been reduced.
Coupled with the generous deadline, you should be able to complete most tasks easily even on a very slow computer which is only on for a few hours per day. If your computer is very, very slow, then choose Nutritious Rice for the World for fixed length tasks. If your computer is switched off frequently, choose Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together for tasks that save (checkpoint) very frequently. |

You can also choose HCMD2 which for, a slow machine, will most likely close at 4 hours and is checkpointing very frequently too. In addition it has a low RAM requirement.
----------------------------------------Good luck. Jean. |
