This things as far as i know, topped out with a whopping 20 megs of ram. i
could be wrong about this limit however.

Strangely, compiling, and other memory and cpu intensive tasks work just
fine. Sitting here watching it, it hasnt done anything strange in the past 5
hours, but still keeps telling me about receiver ring buffer overruns
(always on ne3), and remote transmit DMA failed to complete (always ne4).

Its pretty weird, i'm not sure what exactly is the problem.

Thanks for your help,
