What amount of RAM is enough to run a single sim application (GPL or MGPRS2, for example) where adding more RAM makes no difference in performance? jb

>What amount of RAM is enough to run a single sim application (GPL or MGPRS2, >for example) where adding more RAM makes no difference in performance? It depends. In GPL, 64 megs is enough to run it well, but you can't get a full race replay saved unless you have 128 megs. Chris Noto cnoto at conc dot tds dot net

Not sure about that I have 128 megs and my replay does about 50 laps or something do you know something that I don't?

*buzzzzz* you can adjust the replay buffer, by adding the following lines to your core.ini: [ Replay ] replayMemoryOverride = <enter size in KBytes here> the replay size in laps also depends on several graphical features (skid marks etc.). IMHO a very useful advice is to adjust the swapfile by hand: enter at least half the amount of your RAM for the minimum swap space: this way every idle/unused process is swapped out when you start your game.
