Now that ECCp is done, what's a good project for slower systems?

While I'll probably be switching most of my systems over to D2OL, I have some older systems that just aren't going to be able to do that. I'm taking suggestions for other projects since I don't like wasting computer equipment. All the systems have Internet access and hard drives and run Win95. My requirements: not a Dnet project or SETI and would return some results daily. If it would take most of a day for 1 result, it's just not worth it to me. The systems (processor and RAM):

P233MMX 48MB
P133 48MB
K6 233 8MB (yes, that's just 8)
P266MMX 96MB
P2 250 128MB

Good luck coming up with suggestions.

Yeah I guess D2OL is for you then, it runs very similar to ECCp, so you should be hapy with it.... :)

D²OL requires 64MB of RAM and Distributed Folding requires 128MB of RAM but really needs at least 192MB to run at full potential.

Baldy18, that's a litle over the top. For most proteins it's around 90-120M. 190M would take a really large protein.

Seeing as your machines don't have that much RAM it'd probably be better to put them D2OL. For DF if you've got 256M+ (or at least 160M+), you can get double the production.
