can I expect my GTX285's/GTX295's to get core_15 projects?

A short answer: I doubt it.

Not a short answer: During the initial launch of FahCore_15, there was support for some Pre-Fermi GPUs (viewtopic.php?p=158849#p158849) and last time I checked (quite some time ago), the FahCore_15 version for those GPUs was Version 2.15 (Tue Nov 16 08:44:57 PST 2010). After that, there were some additional FahCore_15 releases for Fermi GPUs and then later, Kepler GPUs until FahCore_17 was released. During all this time, I am not sure what happened to FahCore_15 for Pre-Fermi GPUs.

What does the requirements section of the windows install guide say?

There was a test of assigning Core_15 WU's to the pre-Fermi GPU's that was discontinued in Oct. 2012. Some folders reported that their cards did successfully fold, but many reported failures. There was a blog post that mentioned the problem - https://folding.stanford.edu/home/updat ... pu-issues/, and there are posts here in the forum that a search should bring up. As PantherX mentioned, early versions of Core_15 did work. But whether the problems were caused by changes in later versions of the core or came from newer drivers was never posted.
