If say I have 256 megs of memory and the min to run CPDN is 128 megs, and I have XP taking up X amount and a couple of other running processes that take up X amount and I have 90 megs left will CPDN run? When Asking for help, please post the following; Type of PC How much memory Type of Operating System Type of connection to Internet Projects You are Running Version of BOINC M7 <b>CPDN@h, Berkeley's Staff, Friends Club ©</b> |
