Hello
Can be interesting if Map creators & MOD Coders can answer too
Please what are the best settings that should be set for a Client ??
It can be good to know what are the best HIGHEST Values for those Settings for clients ???
com_hunkmegs
com_soundmegs
com_zonemegs
If a client is having a lot of available memory, is there a real interest for a client to set values like that :
com_hunkmegs “1152”
com_soundmegs “320”
com_zonemegs “320”
thanks 
As far as I know such high values have no effect.
com_hunkmegs “196” or something does the job. or simply 128 and you are good to go. Sound and Zonemegs are even lower.
Values for the client:
com_hunkmegs
Afaik the standard value of 56 MB does the trick for vanilla, some mods require a bit more because of additional assets. It’s hard to detect the exact value - maps are using different models/shaders etc. But let’s say a value about 64-72MB will fit all (including some MBs in reserve).
Run cmd /meminfo and do a search for “total hunk in use”. The value in that line shows the current used hunkmegs.
com_soundmegs
The standard value of 24MB is very low. This setting defines the size of the sound buffer memory. Cmd /s_list will show you infos about. From my experience a value of 160MB puts all sounds into that buffer and no I/O operations are done for sounds during the game 
com_zonemegs
No need to change this value.

The power of 2 thingy … I’ve found different statements about memory allocation in power of 2 steps. Some swear to do it this way others not.
Finally it’s up to your system/used malloc implementation but I don’t think any human will notify any difference here today. So give ET what ET wants:
com_hunkmges 64
com_soundmegs 160
If you still run into hunk alloc memory issues just add some MBs. Any higher values have no positive effect - it’s more the opposite case.
I think,the best solution is use 3/4 of user RAM.
512 should be last number,what You should write,since I don’t know any map/mod what needs more than that.

512 oO bit much imo.
