I have occasional access to an older computer (Windows x86 with 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of RAM) and was wondering which projects are light on resources, or have generous time limits and checkpoints.

I'd prefer projects that can be completed in under four hours on this machine. Which do you recommend I try? Thanks.
