I've been crunching Rosetta on my Athlon-600 (256 MB RAM and Win98SE) for some time.  Suddenly, they want 800 MB of RAM for their WUs.  (There seem to be "small memory" ones, but I'm not getting them.) 

Also, some of the Malaria WUs are reporting 0 CPU (even though they take a couple of hours) so I am not getting proper credit for them.  I don't know what the issue is, but it's put me off the project.

So, my question is: what is a good BOINC project for that machine?

I got Rectilinear Crossing Number on my slow machines and it seems to do well on my slowest P3 500mhz Linux box.

Spinhenge@home: or RieselSieve: are also good choices.

Not currently crunching World Community Grid: but in the past they usually had at least 1 or 2 projects running smaller wus and you can choose the projects you want to run from the website.

folding@home allows you to choose between crunching massive Wu's 30+ hours or small ones that last only a few

Milkyway@home is also good, small, fast WUs, gives half decent credit (mostly that is ) and it uses very little RAM compared to some other projects, only aroundd 16,5 Mbs, compared to around 45Mbs for SETI and over 150MBs for Cosmology@home...
... and last but not least, its a space based project...
