You can set it to 1/2 your ram. I have mine set up to 64 megs...works great .

i use it as 3/4 of my ram
i play q3 also and i think this setting and com_hunkmegs from q3a are the same in their repected engines
so with 128 ram i set that setting to 96

Hmmm, seems this "Shudder" is a framerate problem. Turn down some of your settings...this may help. However, if you wish to keep your graphics as is...try turning other things off, like music. I have sound quality down to low, music off, hud size reduce (just enough to delete the faces that pops up during the messages). 16 bit instead of 32 bit (don't see much difference). Weapons hidden. No auto taunts. This helped with my framerates and I still kept all my graphics turned up.

Are you talking about CacheMegSize?

According to Jack 'mek' Porter, that refers to lightmap and other internal caching, in RAM. Some people claim making this number higher improves performace but Tim says that
doesn't make sense and that it shouldn't make any difference... But hey,
if it works for you .

Setting it to high values (more that 8mb) is really not needed.

Expo...that's your problem right there. Setting minimum framerate at 60 is too high. What that does is when your framerate hits below 60, UT will subtract certain details from the game. First is weapons detail, then gib (body parts) and decals (marks on walls from weapons), dynamic lighting and so on. UT will try and maintain a framerate of 60. But, this will cause hiccups in your game, because UT is trying to delete those graphics as fast as your card will allow. Unless you have a fast card...you'll notice "stuttering". Set the minimum at default or below or even at 35. You'll play at a framerate at around 35 to 40...but that is not a big problem. But, if you minimize or unmark certain things, like decals, skin detail medium (low is great and you really don't see much difference), world detail medium and do the above, then your framerate will stay at a standard rate. I up my details for pics, but for online gaming...I turn them off. You won't notice those details anyway in a fast paced online game.

Lower your minimum framerate...you'll see the stuttering go away.
