simple things like machine gun zoom isn't cached on my machine so the first time using it in mp results in a big hitch.

what .cfg settings can i adjust to fit my particular machine?

specs are 1.5 gigs ram, 256mb 800xt pe, 2.4ghz a64(+3800 or so).

maybe someone can make a small guide to get the most outta 512 ram, 1gig, etc.

I don't use the zoom for that reason, I think everyone get's it.

yeah but i noticed a few other glitches as well. must be a way to tweak it when you have lots of ram. maybe i need another 512 who knows.

These commands are used for ram:
The formula I have found that seems to work well is:

image_cacheMegs = total system memory / 4
image_cacheMinK = (image_cacheMegs / 8) * 1024

For all you lazy slackers, here is the breakdown:

System RAM -

256MB
seta image_cacheMegs = 64
seta image_cacheMinK = 8192

512MB
seta image_cacheMegs = 128
seta image_cacheMinK = 16384

768MB
seta image_cacheMegs = 192
seta image_cacheMinK = 24576

1024MB
seta image_cacheMegs = 256
seta image_cacheMinK = 32768
You should probally get a 512 stick, couldn't hurt and it's pretty cheap nowadays. Also set seta image_useCache to 1.
