It's not going to make a lot of difference going over 512Mb. Unless you're on Windows 9X in which case things will work out badly, cos the vtable is capped at 768Mb, and that covers physical memory plus your AGP multiplier times your graphics card memory. Go over that and half the time the poxy thing won't even boot.

If you're on XP or 2K it can smooth things out a little, I run a Gig on my home machine and zap the virtual memory so stuff isn't swapping out.

Your net connection or NIC if you're running local can make a difference, some cheap cards and not worth having...
