How much does ram have to do with compiling speed?

Not a lot I think, though big (bad

) maps may not compile if you haven't got enough RAM.

When I had the multi-day compiles for "Vemork factory" I could play just fine if I just went into the "Task Manager" and set the "MOHLight" process (if its doing light compile) to "Low" priority. That way it won't totally suck the juice out of your computer (and the compile will be just a bit slower... but not THAT much slower).

2g ram!!!!!!!! wowsers. i dont know why but maps no matter what comp im on always take the same time. i think it haas more to do with ur OS since compiling is all in dos.
