ive got over 700 addons (Different)
and about 5 gigabytes


the only limits are the following
your processers processing ability while playing operation flashpoint
and
Your computers disk space
those are your only addon limits

(Uner win xp.. But it's pretty much the same for all windowsss)
Control panel
System
Advanced
Virtual Memory

Set it to system controlled, or atleast something very high (If you have a bit harddrive, set it to as high as it will go)
Gd luck

you might also want to amend your ofp.exe shortcut that you use to start your game as follows

Right click the exe shortcut
in shortcut tab, go to target box
add  -no splash -no map     as in the example below;
This deals with memory issues associated with bloated addon folders.

....[X= your drive its installed on]
"X:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -nosplash -nomap

nb, using another/second shortcut for the same mod, without the added ending above will not give you the same memory benefits.

As for memory on computer, if you have XP and use NTFS system, consider putting OFP in its own Partition, with a tool like Partition Magic.

You could also add extra ram , so windows page file/virtual memory needn't be accessed frequently.
