Which version of GigaMem are you using? I use version 3.0, and it adds the VMem 
to
the Fast RAM pool *all* of the time! As for speed, IMO, that's dependent on your
 hard
drive, controller, and processor. Running a 50Mhz '030/882, with Oktagon control
ler,
and Quantun Empire 1080MB drive, my VMem tests out actually *faster* than my
chip RAM does! This is on an old A2500, with ECS and OS2/2.1, so your results ma
y
differ from mine, based on you configuration. BTW, I give up a 175MB partition f
or
GigaMem, and assign the AdPro tool type to 50MB, but that's the only one AFAIK.
Virtually yours,
Michel
