Whatever SeaMonkey sets up as default, I think maybe 30-50mb.

But I always change the IE settings whenever I clean up someone else's computer. There is absolutely no reason that should *ever* be the 1.5-2gb and greater that XP sets by default. And it makes spyware/virus scans & disk cloning take fooorrrreeeeeeevvveeeerrrr.......

Word.

I'm more curious about people's IE settings. FF sets it at 50mb which is what I coincidentally set my IE at. I found it funny they chose 50mb because I thought 50mb was very little and I used to set everyone's IE at 50mb because its pointless to have a huge cache (especially when idiots don't partition their HDs and XP sets their cache at who knows how large GBs?).

Anyways, my IE setting is at 50mb. I think it was on a default of like 700mb or whateveR? I don't remember.
