I have 6GB and never has my peak commit charge exceeded 2GB even with RAM devoted to SBS. It's the only thing that runs on that machine. If you try it you will see the difference. It is faster, and each web page operation causes that RAMDisk to be read instead of a slow HDD. I don't remember the last time this decade I have needed to hit a swap file due to being short on memory - memory is so cheap now. -- sxr71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sxr71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75156 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
