JimmyJoeBob Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Is there any advantage to raising the buffer size from the default level of 40 MB to say 120MB if you have the RAM or HD size, whichever it uses. If 40MB is OK why is it adjustable? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just made it adjustable for a laugh! No ok, not really If the machine itself gets suck doing something (more important to it than providing ImgBurn with CPU cycles and access to preform I/O), no amount of buffer will prevent a buffer underrun. A big buffer does mean that once it recovers, the remaining bit will last that bit longer and might prevent further buffer underruns whilst reading from the hdd gets back to full flow. On the other hand, if the machine is reading from a slow (very close to burning speed - but must be slightly fast obviously) source drive, the big buffer can help.
