Or buy a used one if not too expensive the following computer needs for him.
I am quoting his email because he’s the computer geek not me!
According to the software I am planning to use, the requirements for simulations are any CPU that is "Pentium® 4 2.0 GHZ or Athlon® 2000+ or faster, 64-bit (x64) processor",
It also asks for 8 gb of RAM (memory), for the graphics, it asks for "A dedicated NVIDIA GPU card", any NVIDIA cards after 2013 perhaps work.
The website also states that this graphics card (GPU) should have at least 4 gb RAM and recommended 8 gb.
Finally, for space it asks for a minimum 25 gb of storage in a hard drive, this is found in almost any computer by default.
Any amount of time to use this computer would be appreciated, an optimal time period would be about 2-4 months.
As you can see this is a dedicated student who needs support in finding the computer. Thank you

I have a computer that I would give him. I’m out of town now but expect to return next week. I’m not 100% sure it meets all his requirements but I check it when I’m back home.
