Depending on what you find or how much hacking you want to do, you could squeeze it all in 64MB but considering the cost of RAM and likely future Boinc projects, putting in 128MB looks to be a /lot/ easier!

It's looking like 128MB is a minimum. Depending upon the difference in
price, I may just go with 256MB and make sure I don't run into problems.

I was looking to put together a minimal system. The extra small cost of putting in ooodles (lots) of RAM was very worthwhile instead of wasting my time for working around too little RAM.

Some real numbers quoted from the forums:

"The enhanced app stores tables in memory based on how much memory is available. So on a system with a large amount of memory it uses more, but with a small amount it uses less. The minimum has been reduced from 64MB to 32MB system memory."

The tables include trig calculations caching optimisations. Hence more available memory lets s@h_enhanced run a little faster.

Happy crunchin',
