I have a >PIII 500 with 256mb of ram. Yes, it's normal. :) There are two possible reasons: 1. You cannot set the hash size to an arbitrary number. For example, if you set it to "192000 bytes" in 5.32, it will in fact only use "191864" or something. Remember some programs only allow hash changes in powers of 2 (32->64, 64->128 etc.). 2. It's a "MB vs. million bytes" issue. Because 64 MB are in fact 65.536.xxx bytes (1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes), so if you enter "64", if may be interpreted as "64 million bytes" which resolves to "63.x MB" in the display. Call it a "display bug". :) --- Shep
