how many students with 8MB memory limit?

I installed Moodle on a shared hosting server. The hosting company does not allow more than 8MB memory limit.

Question 1: Will I be OK running a single course for 7-10 users? I'm planning to use quite a bit of multimedia content in this course.

Question 2: Assuming 8MB is not sufficient for this course, what is the minimum amount of memory limit I need?

Thank you,

Mike

MP,

Assuming you are talking about the PHP memory_limit setting, Moodle 1.8 requires at least 40MB. More (like 128MB) for a large site (whatever that means), and more if you are using PHP 5.2, or a 64-bit operating system. See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle#Requirements. So if you are using Moodle 1.8, the answer to your question (how many students can you serve with 8MB) is 0.
