A Pentium 4 with 32MB of RAM wouldn't be able to run boinc/SAH,
though, wile a Pentium with 512MB of RAM would be able to run boinc.

If you don't have enough RAM, boinc really won't be able to run
without killing the system.  If your CPU is too slow, workunits will
just take a while to finish.

Windows Task Manager shows that BOINC is currently only using 5,440
K of RAM, a hell of a lot less than some things I have running and a
lot less than the CLI used (I think).

Hope I'm not killin' your b/w here, w/three posts in a row! = )

I believe we are still  running "a" SAH client under the BOINC
framework.

You should still see the usual 16 - 18M that SAH1 CLI_3.08 'used' to
take.

Doh! You're right, just checked again, 21,447 K for SAH, 4,853 K for Boinc
GUI (At present).
