But everyone seems to have their own prejudice on this. It depends on the size and number of processes you will run compared to the amount of RAM you have - paging goes to swap space - as well as if you need to take a crash dump - crash dumps need some more than RAM to do completely, etc. ////jerry > > Thanks, > Alexander. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
