But wasnt there a post awhile back that had some numbers that you could put in the desktop shortcuts (depensing on how much ram you had), under the properties and you put it in the "target" and it was supose to reduce lagg?

If its true I cant find it, if its not then Im obviously looking for something that doesnt exist

"Now here is a cool thing that not many people know about, heapsize. Heapsize is how much allocated RAM you specify for your computer to use on a specific program. Usually you set about 1/2 of your RAM to it.

For example, I want to play GW with heapsize, and I have 1GB (1024MB) RAM. I would set the heapsize to 512000 (512MB).

To put in a heapsize, right-click the GW desktop shortcut, select the "Shortcut" tab, and in the text area "Target" insert this after the last character, with a space:

-heapsize (1/2 of RAM)

EXACTLY like that, with the hyphen and everything. Here is what you insert according to your RAM:

128MB - "-heapsize 64000"
256MB - "-heapsize 128000"
384MB - "-heapsize 192000"
512MB - "-heapsize 256000"
640MB - "-heapsize 320000"
768MB - "-heapsize 384000"
1024MB - "-heapsize 512000"

I tried the heapsize parameter. I couldn't get it to work or don't really know what to look for. But I do use the -password parameter. I can't even remember it unless I check the target data, lol. I haven't typed it in since I started using it. Great tool to avoid keyloggers stealing your account.

I have a password to log in...and basically no one uses my computer. Well, seriously, no one uses my computer. I live alone. And my computer is in an iron box.
