What are the requirements to run this project? I see what applications / OS are supported. Actually I am wondering what are the RAM requirements? Is this listed somewhere I overlooked?

I don't think we really have any minimum requirements, per se. I should think you could get by with 512 Mb (that's what my laptop has, as evidenced by it's taking over two hours without finishing one run of the longer WUs).

I've noticed that on my Athlon 2400 machine 1 gig RAM, the whole machine gets sluggish when running these WUs. But on my Intel dual core 1.6mhz and 1 gig RAM there is no sluggishness. Has anyone else experienced this?

Has anyone else experienced this? I still have this issue with my AMD machine. Every time I load a program it takes forever. Even while I am on-line the pages load very slowly (kinda like I am back on dial-up). But I am starting to think it has to do with the various anti-virus and anti-spyware programs I run. Some of these programs are not on my other computer. On this machine I run the following: Zone Alarm Norton AV SpywareBlaster Spybot Pest Patrol Ad-aware Trend Micro Anti-spyware (not all are always running but many do) None of the other projects have slowed this machine as much except for NanoHive, which I believed to be too intensive for the old machine. Does anyone know if Cosmology's codes and processes would trigger one of these programs to go crazy? I will try running cosmo with various programs running to see if I can find which it might be.

While nanohive caused some havoc on my machine I haven't noticed the slightest hesitation with cosmo. On the extreme end of the havoc scale is scilink. me@rescam.org |

Quite some time ago I found a problem running 2 antivirus programs simultaneously. Dropping one seemed to solve it. I have two xp2500 boxes with Symantec AV, spybot, ad-aware, and spyware blaster on board and don't seem to have any issues with slow downs. |

A few days ago I had to reboot my pc. I also stopped the Trendmicro on it. Now it isn't slow. Maybe the Trendmicro just doesn't like the way Cosmo works. I'll experiment more later with it back on.
