Hi Nick. 64 Megs should be enough for compile. But only for a single task, not 2 paralell. Btw you should only select that option if you have a dual cpu system according to the documentation. On a p166 dont expect anything shorter then hours for any major compile. If the compile failes, just restart it again, it will continue btw. Cheers Szemir
