I just got a new PC with 640 gigs of RAM. I read in a different thread that that limits the size of a server. I think that I'll only ever use 600 gigs at once (discluding the later mentioned server) so I am willing to sacrifice 40 gigs. Can anyone make me a server.properties file that generates the maximum size map in my condition?
...It sounds like alot of work when I type it, so even information would help...

You, err... I... I think you got some terminology mixed up there. Do you mean hard drive space?
Most usually the maximum slots in a mobo is 6, largest RAM I've seen is 8GB
6*8=48
I doubt you have anywhere near 640GB of RAM. XD
Not to mention 32-bit processors can only allocate 4GB in the first place. I've know a few people to go up to 8GB+, only to wonder why it isn't working.
That aside, if you want flatlands, or what I consider crappy map generation, use Omen.
If you want it to be natural, create a normal map, export evey layer, stich the images in paint/a good unix command, reimport, and boost the height.
Not sure of the ideal size.

I disagree with you, therefore you are wrong.

Call me a dumbass now. You're quite right. I'm new-ish to the computer things... But the things they can do, I'm good with. I reviewed my contents, and i've got 4. I was only a couple off...
He may have a RAM drive. It is just an absurd amount of RAM and is very expensive. It is meant to place your operating system on and other commonly used things so that your load times on those things are almost nothing. I don't know too much about these things so I may be wrong but read these before you tell me I am an idiot. Wikipedia RAM-Disk Wikipedia SSD

RAM disk is allocated RAM not a physical part. You would still need to allocate a portion of the max 32GB 99.9999% of people have to be a RAM disk. It's not a component.

I think the Mac Pro can go up to 32 gigs of ram, but I can't think of many operations that would require it.
3D rendering as done by Pixar. Some of their new stuff is sweet. Generally film applications or scientific calculation applications I can think of.
I think you meant to say that you have 640 gigs of ROM not RAM
You see RAM stands for random access memory and is like your computers short term memory, it's used to remember what you recently did. ROM on the other hand stands for Read Only Memory and is the computer's hard drive; think of this as the computers long term memory. Then there is the processor which says how fast and much data it can process. Think of the processor as your computer's IQ. even the American military only just developed a computer that supports 200 gigs of RAM and this computer takes up an entire building. at most you can have 6 gigs in your standard laptop, 8 in a good desktop, and I don't know the max on a blade server but you can't play from a blade server so don't worry about that. My recommendation for next time is to double check your facts. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

no seriously, load a normal map. edit it in paint or soemthing to a bigger size. import it into OMEN. :smile.gif:
people have done it.. search around for the thread and ask for the map.

Except windows is retarded and only decides to use a few GB of that.
