Among my bunch, I've got a P3 system with 128MB RAM & Win2K (oooooold Dell) running the client so the requirements are very lax.

Edit: And if you have dialup you'll need to connect to send in the updates & get new work units but it doesn't need to be online to process AFAIK.

If the above site is updating, check out the stats here:

Besides, i'm sure most of you guys have awesome computers that you are proud of, why not put those cpu cycles to use!

the download page seems empty

You'll show up on the list after sending in your first completed work unit.

Look for your project number on this page:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html

Under the "Credit" column is listed the points per work unit for each project.

OK, I have this set up for a Mac Pro "Early 2008" workstation, with two four-core Xeons and tons of RAM.

Lots of CPU cycles go unused except when I'm streaming radio shows and doing audio editing, so I'm happy to donate my cycles to the cause.

Enjoy.

Here's a guide on how to do something like that. [edit]: An even better (direct) guide is here. So for example:

Team Number: 122600
Your UserName: MyName1234 (example only)

You would us something like:

Quote:
<IMG> http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...gimage.php/un=MyName1234/t=122600/</IMG>
(Now, the image tags use [] and not <> around the word IMG; I used the wrong brackets so the forum wouldn't try to read it as an actual IMG link. You would use [ and ] instead of <> (or just follow the instructions from the website above).

It doesn't upload your results until you finish a work unit.

And I just added 20 of our new NAS boxes it so we're looking at a bunch more Pentium 3.0ghz, 2.8ghz, and a few celerons added to the cluster.

Thanks to everyone for getting off the ground some of the members here have shot up out of no where with some amazing stats and will be rewarded when the time to collect on the free hosting folding competition comes.
