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 sometimes see students doing homework on the computers in the Sumter Co. public library. Our libraries have banks of computers that can be used for free by anyone. You do not need a library card to walk in and use a computer. Has your friend spoken with a librarian about what might be available to him? I have always found our librarians to be very approachable and willing to assist; they are gems.
