Looking for a guide.
Compiling my current map I notice the vismatrix is 20 + Mb. Although it is not a large map, that seems kind of big to me. Can someone tell me what a reasonable size for final compilation is or point me to a reference that expains all of this?
It just seems that adding 1 or 2 brushes really bumps up the comile times.
My system: AMD 1.25 (w/333Mhz FSB) 512 RAM, geForce FX 5200 display adapter. Not a wimpy system so I'm a little concerned about less beefy systems running the maps.

Beefy? You wish... Athlon 2400+ babeh.. anyway, enough gloating 
Wouldn't it depend on how complex the visibility matrix is, rather than how straining on rendering the finished product would be? I don't think you need to worry. I might be wrong, though

Don't get too hung up on the size of the Vis Matrix...
If it compiles and hasn't got any errors, then everything should be fine, I am sure there are limits, but 20Mb isn't all that big.
Tommy14's error resource has the limits, but not the Vis Matrix limit..
Check out Tommy14 for a list of Max limits

Monkey, it's actually an AMD 2600 w/333Mhz FSB. I don't have the cooling as of yet to keep from frying it. I keep it clocked at 166 to keep it cool. And most of the people I know don't have systems in the 1000's yet. Planning on a liquid cooling system in near future.

Lol, I had a PIII 500 till recently :

You have an AMD without coolant? That's suicide.

Not on topic: Don't worry Ministeve, you will be one soon enough.

I have cooling, just not enough to support 2,6000 Mhz of "raw" computing power! LOL. It will soon be recitified with liquid cooling provided it doesn't LEAK LEAK LEAK and fry my whole system!

half-life is 4 years old anyway so who on earth will care about their system on this site? anyway get back on topic.......oh wait it was answered.....in that case get back to work

just fyi, an AMD2600 is not 2600MHz of computing power

nor is it 2,6000! ...but we diverge... stop now.

Ok I'll answer the question again then:
Vismatrix size is not an issue, ignore it. Vis size increases exponentially when you include larger spaces. There are no limits in vismatrix size afaik, I've never hit them with some insanely huge maps!

Memory is good for compiling. Or a 144000000000rpm HDD. Two gig, three gig, it's all good
