  nope... it doesn't lag much for me. But, stupid-high speed interweb access and stonking big graphics card helps.

  No, I didn't. Mine is set at 64 because of my slow internetz speed.

  dedko - dandellion means that if *you* set yours to 512, sims up to 2 sims away get additional load on them, lagging their avies

  didn't mean to repeat! Sorry - also I don't know how *much* lag you introduce, it might not actually be that much

  you probably don't affect people in the same sim because the sim is having to deal with them itself anyway

  wonders

  how many GB is a 'buttload'

• 
  Aug 20, 2008 - 08:28AM

  Tenebrous

  would count that as a half-buttload

  we've invented a new term for memory. "NEW! Comes with TWO BUTTLOADS of Memory"

  I think they lag you are causing to yourself is far greater then the extra work you give to the other sims.

  Downloading assets shouldn't be very costly for a sim.

  Damo	Interesting thought, is this proven? I need mine at 512

•

  ArminaX

  usually sets his to 64 or 96 unless doing some special photography

  Fascinating! I didn't know that, but then my draw distance is low cuz I only have a *butt-crack* of memory.

  I don't think what I have my draw distance set it effects other people. The communication for DLing sim info is between me and the server.

  And I keep mine around 400.
