I finally got a new laptop after 5 years. It's an Alienware with the following specs:
Windows 8.1 pro (64-bit)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M
I run MT 1.4 locally on an LCD TV. I would like to dedicate the computer on gameday to just running MT so that my very large graphic intensive maps (using a lot of Wolph42's BoT animation features) will run as smooth as possible. I use a lot of lights and VBL, so I want to see how well I can get my maps to run now.
What memory settings (maxmem, minmem, stack size) should I use to get the most out of MT/laptop? Assume I am not running anything else on the computer except for MT. Thanks!
What should I set my memory settings to these days?

First of all, make sure that you have java 64 installed (default is 32). Then: 2048, default and 4

I run 4096/64/4 (Max/Min/Stack) on my 16 gig system without issue.Oryan77 wrote:16GB RAM
Just keep in mind that you're really at the mercy of the weakest link in your gaming group.
But, if I understand you correctly, you mentioned running locally on a TV... so I'm guessing that you're going to be running a server (displayed on laptop?) and client (displayed on TV?) off the same machine? If so, you can assign 4gigs to each instance safely.
Rule of thumb... I wouldn't give MT more than half of your system memory in that setup.
