You might want to go with a bit more memory than that if you can. On my system, clamd takes up 138m all on its own (with the Sanesecurity signatures). I don't use ASSP myself, but I'm sure it's going to require a moderate amount of RAM as well. More RAM will also let the rest of the system run more smoothly as the OS can take advantage of the unused memory for caching. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
