I need some place to start when considering a used laptop purchase. My understanding that having a windows or linux OS w/ an AMD or NVIDIA gpu really helps w/ number crunching on NumberFields@home and otherBOINC related projects.

It's not a priority in the purchase but it is a consideration. For example, I don't want one so old that OpenCL can't run on it.

Is there a intro guide to this subject? Something along the lines of "GPUs and BOINC projects for Dummies". Maybe a place where I could compare different GPUs commonly found on laptops and their number crunching abilities

And thank you Eric and everyone else. Research often feels like thankless pursuit to the ones doing it but it is the backbone to the more celebrated advances in medicine and technology

I noticed my disk usage is only abour 44mb, inspite of about 45gb being free and available to BOINC. Is my hardware limiting computing or would you recommend any changes in my preferences or anything else. Apologies if I'm missing something here.
