Relative to normal PC processing, there is no special use of PC speed. However, there has been
noted a slow increase in system RAM usage over long periods of time up to 30-40MB (related to MS
Windows “garbage collection”). PCs with only 512MB or less inst
alled and are running several other
programs (in particular, Internet Explorer), may exceed the available RAM, requiring access to the
hard drive and dramatically impacting speed. In this case, streaming interruptions and other
problems may occur.
