- That is most probably your answer. 800x600x8 = almost 500K of RAM let alone the
- chip ram required by other proggys. Another possibility: Do you run one of
- those piccy bootup programmes (the ones that display a nice picture while your
- machine boots up)? If so, that will cause severe chip ram fragmentation.
