What would be the "bare bones", cheapest box, in which your agent can run WCG without any problems?. I have access to a cementery of old "boxes" or discarded computers, but do not have the knowledge ot time to tweak them in to functionality with your agent.aquinonpti.Yahoo.com

As time passes and new projects come on board and older ones are completed, the minimum requirements will change. We are expecting some new one(s) (projects) in the near future.
----------------------------------------If I were to be firing up a new project I would consider the possibility that I could get the lions' share of the older computers if I kept the minimum requirements as low as possible. I don't know if anyone is looking at it like that though. Edit=>> That having been said, I would expect the new projects to use the BOINC agent rather than the UD agent. Notice I said "expect". ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by RT at May 30, 2006 1:08:45 PM] |

New projects will use both clients, since UD still accounts for the majority of WCG volunteers.
There's no guarantee projects will be launched on both simultaneously, though. Hopefully, you're right about the minimum requirements. *hopes* |
