I guess, that's still valid. OK well if I'm going to use real files, and I don't want disk read performance to be a factor in this, I kinda need to put the source files into a ramdisk. So if it's 3x of cache, out of 7.4G free, a 6G ramdisk would be at least 3x that of what remains for use as cache and should qualify?
