Should i do bigpackets?

[westau]

I have a pentium 4 2ghz and 768mb of rdram, I am not sure the speed of the rdram but I saw someone post earlier that you could do bigpackets with 512mb of ram and another that said 1 gig so I don't know.

Big packet work units will use up between 60-160mb of ram. The current batch seem to be between 60-105mb. You'd be fine doing big packets, and you'd get double the points.

[Sentential]

Just so long as you have more than 512MB of RAM I think you should be fine. Bigpackets only become a real problem IF you only have 512MB.

and all i have to do for bigpackets is go into the client.cfg file and change no to yes on bigpackets right?

[TalRW]

correct, just change the no to a yes

You must also have the -advmethods set in the registry or the shortcut target.

I would recommend big packets on 512MB and up, unless, of course, it is a dedicated folder.

I downloaded the one-click client that included the -advmethods included, do I have to put it in the registry myself or does it do it on its own?

[aftermath]

if you used that one click it will have done it for you.

you need to be using the 5xx console to do BP.
