in your humble opinions,
what will a Boinc computer
require.
or will a SAH computer be the same?

Boinc itself would run on a 386 with 16MB of RAM.  The applications, 
though, require about the same resources as the current SETI@Home.  I 
wouldn't run it, personally, on anything lower than something i686 
compatible, but that's just me.  For *nix, I don't think there are any 
i586 binaries available, but you should be able to build you own should 
you so desire.

Workunits tend to take a bit longer than classic SETI@Home, depending on 
your OS and CPU.  Windows users are stuck with debugged builds right 
now, so they don't crunch as fast as *nix users.
