* gpu_mem should be set to 128M. On a 256M | * gpu_mem should be set to 128M on a Pi1, 256M on a Pi2. On a 256M Pi1 it is recommended to set it to 112M. On a 512M Pi1 it may be worth increasing this if you are running heavy skins or if you want to increase the default fanart resolution or colour depth. 256M should be more than enough on a Pi1, although 320M on a Pi2 may be appropriate if using higher resolution imageres/fanartres and also higher colour. | ||
* A 256M Pi is quite short on memory. Be careful with running other apps in the background (e.g. torrents) or installing add-ons that consume memory. | * A 256M Pi is quite short on memory.

* Reducing the "GUI resolution limit" (e.g. to 720p) in settings/system/video will save memory. This is a default on a 256M Pi.
