2) Message boards : Number crunching : Increased to 512MB as recommended memory requirement (Message 1405) Posted 16 Oct 2005 by dp Post: [quote]My laptop only has 256MB. It works, but work units take a relatively long time for the processor's speed (average 2 3/4 hours on a 2.8GHz Pentium 4). Have been looking to add extra RAM anyway (not just for BOINC/Rosetta), so I've ordered it now. Maybe it will make a difference. Have you had any heat problems running you P4 laptop? Do you run it 24/7 or does it get a rest ? I'm in the market for a new laptop and would appreciate any reccomendations regarding the P4 vs a centrino. Is the centrino adequate for DC projects or do i go for the horsepower? Thanks DP
