Re: memory-gobbling on Virtual Acorn

Many thanks, Dave. I think that has done the trick.

Was puzzled at finding TWO [Ram] entries in the file. From memory:

[Ram]
base = 0x1000000
16Mb

[Ram]
base = 0x1400000
16Mb

What are the two entries for?

When I changed only one from 16Mb to 256Mb, Windows was sorry that
Virtual Acorn had encountered an error and could not start. I changed
the other entry as well, and now all is well. Methinks VRPC feels
faster overall, and Netsurf behaves like it does at home on ArmX6.
