file->prefrences
under “Environment”
no i meant is 256 the value i should put in for the Tile Cache if i have 256ram on my computer.
as in should the Tile Cache value match the amount of ram on my computer
i know where in the menus to change that.
thanks
I’d say available free ram - expected image ram size, so something like
tilecache = ram total - system usage - expected image ram size
so if your OS blows 64megs of ram, and you’ll be painting bitmaps of 64megs, it’ll be
tilecache = 256meg - 64meg - 64meg = 128meg
because of being gentle and compassionate to your box, you’ll incalculate some overhead and therefore you’ll assign only 100megs for your tilecache.
