If it stays at 20mb, then I'll have to remove it as I don't want the PC to be swapping in and out with disk all the time. ID: 12485 ·

In fact the biggest difference is the 5mb that BOINC uses, but this should not be dificult to swap out. John Keck BOINCing since 2002/12/08 ID: 12498 ·

Even outlook is only taking 14mb when it runs... > > > > > > > Bah!!!
