GPL:MemKb in sierra.inf seems low

I was looking at the sierra.inf file in my gpl directory and noticed that in the [system test] section it had MemKB=13312. Is this normal for a 64Meg system? If so then why is it so low? I presume its decided that's the amount of RAM available to GPL. If that's true then what's happened to the other 50Megs? :-( I tried a full install of gpl on another partition but got the same result. My system is:- WIn95b 64Mb Ram Only programs running during install were:- Explorer Iowatch Systray Imgicon Thanx in advance. -- Peter Ives

Same here, 13312, but I have 128Meg ram. Sreen size it says is 640*480 while I run 800*600. GPL runs fine. I wouldn't pay attention to it. Bart Westra

I just checked mine. It also says 13312. I guess this must be a default value, as I have 128MB RAM. Anyone know whether changing this value will improve performance? Mike West 3DNow! UK: www.3dnow.freeserve.co.uk
I have no idea what that value is, but I can assure you that GPL does not use it. Randy

The Win9x kernel will easily grow to 30+MB with network options and such installed. Are you having problems running GPL? If not, don't worry about it.

Nope, its runs fine. What put me on to it was other posts mentioning changing replay length in the core.ini. As I didn't have this file I started looking for memory size in the other .ini files that's all and just wondered if this had any bearing on anything. Now that you've all put my mind at rest I can get on with the racing again. Cheers guys :-) -- Peter Ives
