Footnote 6 of Minimum System Requirement may need correction.

https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewS...nimum+system+requirements

1) Think the copy paste monster snug in for OPN1, SCC1, OpenZika (why is latter even in this list still). Think MIP1 should have a footnote 6 reference due the long intervals.

2) Many of the website device settings have no effect on Android, in fact think the Android client mostly ignores device profile settings, is not aware. LAIM certainly has no effect. BOINC unloads when paused.

Re: Footnote 6 of Minimum System Requirement may need correction.

And another one from that page, that should be updated.

It says about FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2, that it needs 512 MB Memory Available, but I just got the following reply from Boinc when I tried to get WU's for FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2, for my old Laptop that only has 1 GB of memory:

Message from server: FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2 needs 1024.00 MB RAM but only 891.72 MB is available for use.

See https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg...ead,42090_offset,0#620176

Odd, the log on the last 10 at least says on Windows to use in the range 476-486MB of VM. Memory always in range 275-285MB.

Thanks it has been updated to 1GB on the requirements page. The memory will fluctuate based on the current target being run and it will approach 1 GB at times.
Thanks,
