So you mean I should leave the cache to the default of 800 MB or not use the "--slim" option? If I get you right, I should still use the --slim option (being on 32bit I have to) and then give it more RAM. If I have installed 4 GB how much could I use, 3GB? If you have 8GB why do you just use 2GB?</div><div><br></div><div>Bye</div><div>Ivo</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br></div></div></body></html>
