Hi, when I allocate hard drive space in the device settings there is a gap between 80,90 MB and 1.0,2.0 GB. I would like to choose a setting inbetween ...
How can I checkhow much hard drive space the unit is really using? |

For this project we use less than 30 megabytes of local hard drive space, so it really doesn't matter which setting you use. We hope to find solutions for future projects which will never need that kind of disk space.
However, you do want to have virtual memory turned on for your computer. Windows reserves hard drive space for the paging memory to disk and back. A good average setting might be equal to or more than you physical memory. I would recommend that you have a minimum paging file size of 512MB. Mine is 2046 MB. The setting is in Control Panel-> System-> Advanced-> Performance Options. |
