Little question

[cedricvonck]

Hi !

I have here a portable sitting around:

a 200 Mhz Pentium 1 mmx with 32 mb of Ram
and Windows 98.

I can connect with the Net but only on a restricted time.

So are there any projects out there that still supports such ancient hardware?

Thnx!

Firstly welcome to Free-DC, cedricvonck!

As you can see, we have numerous Distributed Computing projects for you to choose from.

I believe that you are able to run SETI, Distributed Folding, RC5-72, OGR-24/25, Find-a-Drug and probably some other projects with your Pentium 200MHz. Also all the projects above can cache the workunits so that you do not need to connect to the project server all the time. You can connect anytime you want.

Hope this helps, and if you need more clarification, don't hesitate to ask ok.

Welcome cedricvonck!

Don't worry about 'ancient' hardware - every little helps.
I'm currently running Find-a-Drug on my old notebook (P1 - 150, no mmx, 16 mb ram, Slackware 9.0).

If you need help with anything, just ask.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I will check this evening!

But seti will take a little long to complete...

You can always crunch ECC2,

For more info see:

http://www.ecc2.com/

For speed of client on your CPU see:

Looks like you would produce a DP on average every 284 minutes..

Hope that helps...

I really don't know from wich project to choose from

s@h => too long (up to 12 hours)
f@h => too many resources
distributed folding => too many resources
all the math projects => " " "
So the cryptographic projects are the best...

I'll try ecc2

thank you!
