Do you mean to 10 MB?
I've long had mine set to about 5 MB but no doubt I could
make it substantially bigger now that I have 512 MB of RAM
on the Iyonix. I haven't done any speed comparisons on the
Iyonix but it made an observable (but not measured)
difference when copying between hard drives on the Risc PC.
