By default, KoriBlast has been configured to use a minimum of 512 Mb (mega-bytes) of computer memory (RAM) and a maximum of 1024 Mb. However, depending on your computer RAM capacity, you could be interested to modify these numbers. Doing so is quite easy.

Start the Windows File Manager and enter the directory where KoriBlast has been installed. Usually, this directory is C:\Program Files\KoriBlast. In that directory, you can see a file called KoriBlast.vmoptions (if it does not exist, you can create one; be careful to respect letter case). Open that file in your favorite text editor, then update the memory requirements as needed.

As an example, if you want KoriBlast to use 512 Mb of memory, modify KoriBlast.vmoptions as follows:

Updating KoriBlast.vmoptions only takes effect after restarting KoriBlast. You can check the memory usage update by looking at the bottom right corner of the KoriBlast frame: you can see there a Memory Meter.

   Important notice: it is worth noting that 32bits Java Virtual Machine only allows to use a maximum of 1.5 Gb of RAM. If you plan to use more memory, this is simply not possible with a 32bits JVM. In such cases, consider to switch to a 64bits operating system and JVM.
