How much memory do I need to run GPL? Will more memory make it run faster?
Papyrus says the minimum is 32 mb. I think having 64 mb may speed things up at certain points, but I don’t think it will make a huge difference in overall frame rate. However, with 32 mb you will be able to save only very small replays. As I recall, with 32 mb I could save only a lap or two at the shorter tracks. With 64 mb I could save about 7 to 10 laps of solo play (i.e. no AI or remote players) on tracks like Kyalami and Monza. Trying to save a replay of an entire lap at the Nurburgring was marginal. With 128 mb, it’s possible to save enormous replays. I have replays of most of the Papy Cup races, which are Intermediate Long races (roughly 25 to 30 laps at the shorter tracks) and we usually have a dozen or more players. Almost all of the replays include the entire race and the last part of practice, except at Zandvoort where there were almost 20 players and a lot of smoke and dust was generated, which takes up a lot of room in replays. There, I have all but the first lap of the rac
