Buffer Size?

[Mike89]

I notice the buffer size limit for both Build and I/O is 512mb. The guide says to leave it at 40mb for 980mb or more of physical memory. By that ratio the computer isn't capable of having enough physical memory to set it at 512mb.

 

So how important is this setting and for what purpose would one max it out to 512? If one had 4 gigs of ram, what benefit is there between setting it at 40mb vs 512mb. I would think the higher the better for a smoother burn (with HDD not having to work as hard). Is this not true?

It was important for Joe From Phila.

I don't set it on any sort or ratio, I just don't see a point in having a huge software buffer.

 

I also don't like telling people NOT to have one so the option is there if they want it.
