Use rank if you want your jobs to *prefer* the better machines, but don't care if it runs on the lesser machines. Use requirements if you *only* want your jobs to run the better machines. The simplistic view of Rank and Requirements:

        Requirements define what machines show up on the list of possible matches.
        Rank helps sort the list.
        Top of the list gets popped and tried first.

If you always want to run in slot 1 or 2 regardless of how many CPUs the machine is advertising:

requirements = SlotID == 1 || SlotID == 2

If you only want to run in slot 1 or 2 on machines that have >2 slots advertised:

requirements = (TotalSlots > 2 && (SlotID == 1 || SlotID == 2)) || (TotalSlots <= 2)

No problem? :)
