N3 repaly buffer

Approx. how much buffer is enough to capture 45 laps at Watkins Glen with

using your ram and all but does having a big buffer (10 mb on a 128mb
system) hurt your games performance in FPS?
Thanks

N3 repaly buffer

My league races are 35% with fields of 14-20 cars.  I set my replay buffer
to 14 megs, and have never gotten an incomplete replay.  Most of the time,
the replay file is about 8-10 megs.  You will want to use somewhat larger
buffer for 45% races, but my settings should give you a starting point.

The replay buffer will not effect the game performance, as far as I know. As
long as your PC has enough memory to run N3 (64 megs), Windows, and the
replay, you will be fine.  BTW, my PC has 128 meg of ram.
