Your 1GHz Intel crashed eight Models. When a machine is so unstable, boinc limits the amount of work it\'s allowed to wreck.

That machine, running stand-alone 24/7, would likely require more than a year to run a Model. It\'s way below minimum specs so, unless it\'s rock-solid stable, it won\'t do the job.

Try Memtest-86 and Prime-95, available free on the Net, each for 24 hours. If both tests come up error-free you might be good to go with it. If so, make regular backups of the entire boinc folder; I\'ve a hunch you\'ll need them.

And, it\'ll be useful to read the Help Stickies by Mike and Les at the top of the Windows Page.

[Edited for typo.]

There are less demanding Projects available from boinc: Perhaps you\'d have better luck with one of them.
