Note that system memory requirements are higher now because all prime numbers < 1011 need to be stored in memory for the search.


This is useful to know but if you were able to give an example for memory needed that would be better.

For example, Boinc Manager, Disc tab shows Amicable numbers only using 1.73 Mb as I have no tasks running atm.

I allocate 20gb disc space to Boinc and have currently 15Gb free for Boinc to use.

I have 32Gb Ram and allow,
When computer is in use, use at most 50 %
When computer is not in use, use at most 90 %
Leave non-GPU tasks in memory while suspended
Page/swap file: use at most 75 %

While I guess my settings and available Ram availability is ok it would be nice to have an idea of the current potential requirements for Amicable tasks :)
