What do I need to participate in SETI@home?
For Windows systems (95/98/NT) you’ll need a computer with at least 32 MB of RAM, the ability to display 8-bit graphics in 800×600 resolution, 10 MB of disk space, and an Internet connection (dialup is OK). For Macintosh systems you’ll need the above, as well as a PowerPC processor and Mac OS 7.5.5 or later. You can use SETI@home on a laptop that is connected sporadically. We also support many versions of UNIX, including Linux on various CPUs. We hope to eventually support other systems such as OS/2 and BeOS. We won’t support WebTV. There are no CPU speed or modem speed requirements. It doesn’t matter where in the world you live.
