Anyway, you'll be >warned before the disk fills up. Actually I have had 6 swap files on my Powerbook (1 GB RAM, numbers vary with varying amounts of RAM)when working with large sample libraries. These happen as follows. 64 64 128 256 512 512 makes a total of 1536 MB So I would _strongly_ suggest to keep 3 GB free. Everything above that is fine, but that seems to be the number that makes the most sense. Still enough buffer for a seventh swap files although that probably won't be necessary as you will think your PB breaks down any second because of all the swapping. Cheers Hans
