The largest size, of those that keep three bits a weight or more, whose memory at an 8K chat is under 92% of the card's; the rest is the desktop's. Estimated from the files, the same way as for a Mac; speed on a PC is not estimated yet. A size that doesn't fit the card still runs, slower, with part of it in ordinary memory.
