Interesting, I just created a "album" kind of section for a clients site, but i am dumping all the images of all users into the folder "user_album_pics" he's on a dedicated linux server with 2gigs ram and 300gigs hdd space... Any rough estimates what number of images would be too much? and does anyone think i should make folders for each user? Each user is limited to max 3mb of pics though...
