Too little memory or space

**Lagu** · 11-20-2007, 01:47 AM

I should run Cocmology@Home but it is impossible on my AMD64. Their server tells me I have too little memory and need an additional 199 MB. In the preferences, I have chosen 20 GB overall and 50 % usage of the disc. However, when I checked the “Message” it stands the preferences limit disk usage is to 0,47 GB. I have tried change but failed. I have 213 GB free on my Intel and 70 GB on my AMD. If I choose to 100 GB so is it more than what AMD has.

What is wrong? Can anyone give me a advice how I can get rid of that message and got 0,47 to change to a higher level?

How much RAM memory do you have in the machine. Cosmology is a memory hog...
What OS are you running XP or Vista

That should be enough RAM then, With my computer, each client being run uses about 100-140 meg of RAM

You might go into general prefrences and up the % of page file, % of mem when in use and % of mem when not in use. It might help.

I can´t understand why Cosmo dont work but Rosetta does.

My preferences: Disk and memory usage
Use at most 20 GB
Leave at most 20 GB
Use at most 75% of page file
Use at most 95% of memory when in use
Use at most 100% when not in use

Can the HDD have an issue because I have notised a block was wrong and I ran chkdsk. I seems as the data have only a small surface on the HDD and the rest is blocked.

Comments? Solutions?
